John,
Hope you don't mind if I step in a answer the first part. A 0-60 oil gauge
is found on AD GMC's, and although a different color, is a direct swap for
the Chevy 0-30 gauge. The refacing kits (decals) available from Chevy Duty
and others, comes with both a 0-60 and a 0-30 decal, so you can do both with
one kit.
