Looking for a 5 gauge dash pod...

[RSchwarzli]

Does anyone know of any 5 pods for sale? Years ago US Gear, Banks, many of these companies offered them.



Anyone have one?



This is a 4 pod...

Sorry to say so, but the 4 pod in the pic is the pod in the 1990/daily driver. Thats not the crew cab! I dont have one in there to pull out!

 

[JKreiss]

Where were you able to get the one you have now? I like the location.

 

[RSchwarzli]

From another TDR member a year or two ago.

The company stopped making those pods about 2003. When I finally had the money to but one in 04 for the 93 that I got in 03, they had stopped making them. I do not know of a 5 pod though, only the 3 and 4.
By the way, what 5 gauges are you planning on running?

 

[RSchwarzli]

Yes. 03 was the last year although US GEar still had a few kicking around till 05ish. I had ordered a 3 pod for the daily at the time and they told me they also had 4, and 5 pods. I did not think of the future and ordered my pod and called it a day. #@$%!

By the way, what 5 gauges are you planning on running?

The crew cab has 23 gauges if memory serves. Or is it 24? I dont remember.



Whats going on the A pillar is:



Oil temp

Oil PSI

Water temp





Dash:



Pyro

Intake plenum temp

E brake back pressure

Boost

Boost 2





Roof pod:



Trans temp

Gear Vendors Temp

Diff temp





Factory modded gauge cluster:



5" tach

2 x fuel level

Speedo







Custom center console:





Volt meter

Left front air bag

Right front air bag

Rear air bags

Air Tank psi

Intake vacuum

Hour meter

If I cant get a dash 5 pod, the intake temp will go here too







I know I am forgetting something... . it will come to me.

 

[RSchwarzli]

Did you ever find any of the Dash Gauge Pods? 5 or otherwise?

 

[Superglide]

Would this work?

Man dude. The stuff you remember!



No, I did not. But like all good things, patience is key. At least that is what I have always been told!

Would this work?

Possible, but it would not fit the dash very well, and I would prefer the one that contours with the dash. It makes my truck look sexy when it follows her body lines! :-laf

It shouldn't be hard to cut that one and make a few wood pieces, then cover the wood in vinyl.
Or, find someone that can do fiberglass work. Use the holes only, then shape it however you want.

 

[RSchwarzli]

Very true. Many options are available.



Then again maybe I should just make a mold and start reproducing them!
