Location for gauges

[NDearyan]

I have looked at a number of magazines, and web pages that sell gauges (Pyrometer, Boost, Extra temp gauge, Tach, properly calibrated ail pressure etc)



And I have looked at where to put them. My 1993 seems to not have a place to conveniently place them.



Where'd you put yours, and are you happy with how it turned out?



Also, I can't find any that go on the left side of the windshield, on the post. At least with a nice fit. I was even thinking of installing a small console up in the roof, middle, to house some gauges.



Thanks for your input,



Nate

I used a 3-gauge pod from US Gear. I have a couple pics in my Reader's Rigs Gallery (click on the link under my username).



AutoMeter makes a single and double pod to go on the pillar, but I like them better on the dash - it's all a matter of personal preference.

Here is a link with some pic's of my dual gage pod. That pic is the sighting picture when you are driving. The gages are Auto Meter Sport comp series. The pod is made by Auto Meter.

IF you check out my gallery you can see what I finally decided on, it is a dash pod for a second gen truck, but with a little carving it fits nicely. I went with Isspro EV gauges.

I have the ISSPRO EV series gauges on the pillar, AUTOMETER pod, from DIS www.dieselpage.com SOme guys dont like the way they point up a little, but I'm 6ft, and they arent in the way, yet easy to read, esp at night. Took some getting used to (about 1wk) from the dash mount, but I wouldnt g back on a 1st Gen. 2nd Gen pillar is wide enough w/o gauges, but I wont go there. Not sure if I have any pics in my RR or not. I do have a pic or two I can email. Not a god shot of the gauges, but has a good background contrast so one can see the outline of where the pod goes.

Nate, a two gauge pod and or one gauge pod for the a-pillar is available for our trucks. If you want three gauges on the a-pillar you can just stack them, single gauge pod on top of the dual pod. Then a three to five gauge pod is available for the dash. Check out the TDR vendors for prices and availability. I think you can view RDusch's RR album for the single on top of dual pod. Geno sells both for our trucks. I have the dual pod on a-pillar.
