10-4 - I did the same for a few years and yes with the 408 I would go thru the trouble of getting the exhaust done.
As for a "kit" I would say you are highly over estimating the size of the marketplace.
My 1st question is do you REALLY need them? A few thoughts - if you are stock you will only gain about 15/20hp, they make it VERY hard to tie into the factory stacks (thanks to a gas tank sitting along the drivers side frame), and will most leak at some point. But if you are sold on the idea I...
That is a correct bed - they were painted from the factory the same color as the truck AND the wood in the floor was actually pine so most rotted out within a few years and you have what we you normally see today - nice clear coated oak beds with painted or polished ss strips
Unfortunately Mopar never kept records of the options ordered - we are lucky to know the totals.

I would think these would work - Gas Tank Straps - 1977 - 79 truck 18 gallon tank

No one makes a replacement but rebuilt units are available and even the AMP gauge can be upgraded to handle the load or be converted to a volt meter as welll - Welcome — Mr Heaterbox and Interior Restoration Services and many of the gauges are still available as NOS parts - - Gauges, Controls...
If you have not solved the problem - the original NOS gauges are still available - just not many left but they are out there - - Gauges, Controls, Clusters
