putting my non-sr5 speedo back in, what are some good places for aftermarket gauges?

im putting my old speedometer back in my truck once i get my new speedometer cable because im sick of it being 100,000 miles off and having to explain to everyone. im just going to put in a aftermarket tach, water temp, oil pressure, battery. now my question is, where are some good locations on the dash to do that? im not putting anything where the inclinometer goes, because im planning to get one to cover the crack. () any ideas?

There is a detailed thread on here about resetting the odometer on an SR5 gauge cluster swap. My understanding is 100K is easy to change.

My tach is in between the A pillar and the cluster. 3 3/8" Tach fits perfectly there (In sight but not in line of sight). I was looking at doing a 3 gauge A Pillar unit for Oil PSI, a real temp gauge, and Voltmeter. Under the radio or under the shelf under the radio would most likely work too (kinda like the 69 Camero 4 gauge cluster)

i changed mine to the proper mileage when i swap my cluster over and it was pretty easy. just took a little time and some finesse with a small flathead screwdriver
