I have found some speedometers on ebay, but have yet to find the other 2 gauges anywhere? Is there any out there to be found? thanks.
 
To the right is a temp gauge and an amp gauge. To the left is an oil pressure gauge and a hydrostatic fuel gauge. There are two separate gauges under one bezel on each side. As Vanspeed says, you will find NOS oil and amp gauges on eBay. There are reproduction temp gauges and sender with purple rather than red color from Mac's and the like. I have seen some originals rebuilt on eBay. You can find the fuel sight glass and bezel on eBay and then purchase a reproduction air line and red fluid from Mac's. I have a hydrostatic sender for inside the tank if you need one. The truck's are all the same as the 35 cars and 35-36 pickups.

farmboy...You did not mention whether you were looking for the single gauges that came on may pickups and trucks (Ammeter and fuel gauges only) or the dual gauge setups. The 36 did not have a hydrostatic fuel gauge, it had an electric. On the pickups and I would think the other vehicles as well, that meant the filler tube was vented as well. I havehad good luck using Baxter Ford parts in Kansas for gauges. All Ford in California had some the last time I checked and there are other suppliers who can probably come up with the gauges you need.

Thanks everyone...yes this truck as the electric fuel guage. There are two gauges in on each side of the speedometer. I will check all these out, thanks!
 
My 36 1.5 ton had an original hydrostatic fuel gauge and others I have seen do as well. The tank has an opening in the bottom for the sending unit, while electrics are in the top. Old andtired's comment notwithstanding, If your's is electric, I don't think it is original.
