Looking for picture and measurements for a 3 pod a pillar

[RSchwarzli]

Want to see if I could put a 3rd gen A pillar 3 gauge pod on a 1st gen.



Anyone have any good pics of one mounted as well as maybe the backside of one unmounted?



Also looking for overall length measurement.



Thanks!

my truck is at the shop right now so i can't take pics of the pillar pod but i have the old a pillar that i can give you measurements from if that helps?

The pillar plastic or the pod? I need the measurement of pod length to see if it will fit not he shorter 1st gen A pillar.

Contact Geno's Garage they sell the A-pillar for the three gage pod for measurements.

I will try to add a photo of my A-pillar with gages.

Excellent picture! Thank you!

Good thought on genos too.....

You don't want a 3 gauge pillar mount in a 4x4, you lose the grab handle. This will result in concussions and a broken steering column.



The dash pods and windshield pods are much better and easier place for the gauges.

This is for the 90. You have seen the int right?

Grab handles are for wimps.

 

[cerberusiam]

Aw heck! I thought you were working on the 06.



I'll go back to my corner now.

 

[RSchwarzli]

Lol. No worries. Just getting bad ideas of maybe using a 3rd gen pod on the 1st gen. Nicely integrated as one piece. Clean.

Granted may not fit... . :-laf

Your input is always welcome Cerb!!! And that's true. Forgot the mega could fall under this section!

i think BS has just badly enough gauges. . I think he can squeak by. lol

There is more wiring in running the gauges than the entire trucks loom.



I'm thinking you ought to just get the chrome cup mounts from suumit or the like and have a solid row across the dash, up the pillar and over to the rear view mirror. Who needs a visor?

Hahaha :-laf

You are likely right!!

Issue is I have two more gauges from Summit coming. Fuel psi and oil temp.

The psi will go on the roof pod as I ordered a 4 pod 3rd gen roof setup to replace the 3 pod.

Issue is I have one more left over without a home. As my eyeball says I have about enough room to add one more a pillar, I am doing research on that.

I did order another 2 pod 1st gen A pillar mount to see of it could work, but it a 3rd gen 3 pod has the pods closer together (ie more will fit in less area) I could always fab in a 3 pod 3G and a 1 pod 1g and call it a day!

Repeat after me!! I'M A GAUGE-A-HOLIC:-laf

 

[cerberusiam]

At this point you just need to find yourself a dash blank and build the gauges in you want. :-laf

Let me try here... .

I NEED MORE GAUGES! Oo.

Whoops. Did not come out right.

Cant. Steering wheel blocks some and that could be a hazard!

Anyways, the crew is the one with lots of gauges (24 at last count). The 90 only has a few.

with all the work you do and all the serious projects you put into all your Dodge diesel trucks, is that a lube shop oil change sticker in the window???

 

[RSchwarzli]

Lol. Very observant!

Yes it is a dealer lube decal in the window. But they don't touch my truck. Only person who works on my trucks is me.

I just happened to have a pack of them so I know when to do my oil change. :-laf
