Check out speedhut gauges. They have a speedo that works off GPS.

I used dakota digital analog style gauge pod in my 87 c10 . I always thought they were pricy ....but once I had them in my hands I see the quality.

Not sure what look you're after or what your skill level is at, but if you're a little crafty, I can help you out with a super affordable solution. It takes a little time but I really dont like the look of aftermarket gauges in an otherwise stock interior. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=512751

I wanted to keep the "decades old" analog gauges in mine. VDO made pretty good stuff back then (including the cable speedo) with no hysteresis built in to confuse the driver with what's actually happening. So, in my case, 'worth doing correctly' meant finding a way to re-use the period correct stuff. Not a one-size-fits-all on these car builds.
