Instrument Cluster Change Out

Anyone out there changed the OEM instrument cluster (Ford E450) to a digital gauge cluster? I can find all kinds of digital clusters for Chevy, Ford F-type. But nothing for a Ford E-type cluster. Any suggestions?

The instrument cluster (spedo, tach, oil, bat, fuel) that is what I am looking for. What is the source if I may ask? The other monitors are really cool, and great placement.

The one you see where the cluster should be is a 10.1 inch android tablet running the torque app.
Tablet does split screen for guages and map.
It sits on top of your current cluster and can come in the house when you're not using the RV.

Torque will tell you almost any info ford can access through the ford computers.

Duck, that's a great solution for the barely visible instruments in the F53 chassis (don't know if that applies to the E-Series chassis). Is there any OEM information covered by the tablet that can't be reproduced by Torque (Pro, I assume) like turn signal indication, cruise control ON indication, bright light indication, etc?

Also, how is the tablet held in place?

Velcro dots hold it on.
Torque pro(I'll always pay for an app if they're not stupidly priced)
You'll need a FULL android, not android light tablet($100+)

I am vaguely remembering, maybe incorrectly, that there is an add-on to torque which allows turnsignals and such. Dashboard-pro or something.
