The following is a post by Sri Natraj Maneshinde in FB.  He has made an
impressive collection of references linking Gayatri to Shiva from various
sources.   I have given a short reference to Upanishad/Vedic sources:

 In this post of Sri Natraj Maneshinde, the following verses cited, are
provided with Upanishadic/Vedic references by me below:
1. Shiva Purana, Kailasa Samhita, Chapter 13 :
The Hiranya-maya Purusha beheld in the Surya mandala, whose limbs are of
golden hue, who is described so in the Chandogya upanishad is verily
Bhagavan Shiva.
एष त आत्मांतर्यामी योऽमृतश्च शिवस्स्वयम् ।। [Antaryami Brahmana of
Braihadaranyaka Upanishad. ]
यश्चायम्पुरुषे शंभुर्यश्चादित्ये व्यवस्थितः ।। १३ ।।
स चाऽसौ सेति पार्थक्यं नैकं सर्वं स ईरितः ।।
सोपाधिद्वयमस्यार्थ उपचारात्तथोच्यते ।। १४ ।। [Taittiriya Upanishad: स
यश्चायं पुरुषे यश्चासावादिये....]
तं शम्भुनाथं श्रुतयो वदन्ति हि हिरण्मयम् ।।
हिरण्य बाहव इति सर्वांगस्यो पलक्षलम् ।। १५ ।। [Sri Rudra Prashna of the
Krishna yajur veda: नमो हिरण्यबाहवे सेनान्ये दिशां च पतये नमः...]
अन्यथा तत्पतित्वं तु न भवेदिति यत्नतः ।।
य एषोन्तरिति शंभुश्छान्दोग्ये श्रूयते शिवः ।। १६ ।।
हिरण्यश्मश्रुवांस्तद्वद्धिरण्यमयकेशवान् ।।
नखमारभ्य केशाग्रा सर्वत्रापि हिरण्मयः ।।१७ [Chandogya Upanishad]
The above verses are the Upanishadic/Vedic upabrhmanam in the Shiva Purana.
