Looks good. I am thinking along the same lines for my '71 GMC Jimmy.
3-3/8'' Tach [Autometer],
then from lower left,
digital Voltmeter, mech Water Temp, mech Vacuum Gauge, mech Oil Pressure Gauge.
Autometer mechanical gauges.
I might move the Wiper Switch over to Left, above Headlights. I already have a Manual Choke on right. I could add a Mechanical Hand Throttle above it, but connecting to the Accelerator linkage is a puzzle.
That way the controls would mirror my '68 C/10's set up, and I wouldn't pull off the Wiper Knob trying to pull the Lights on w/o looking, again.
