I did mine, twice..
pretty simple yet time consuming id say. mine is a piece of sheet metal, drilled and bored the holes for the desired gauges, cut holes for the stereo and switch panels and done.

You are going to have to make sacrifices in this area. If not, then the project becomes much bigger and time consuming when trying to save all the little things. I have Kerts dash coming in the mail. If you don't want to go that route, it's easy enough to cut a piece and bolt it in there. Put ur gauges in and be happy.
I re-wired the whole truck with an EZ-Wiring kit, so I wired all the gauges separately, I also got ride of the dummy lights, shifter thing, and whatever else I could throw away.
