Looks good. Does that gauge pod attach to the stock A-pillar, or does it replace the stock piece?

I don't know if it will fit 87-91, because the A-pillar trim is shaped slightly different. I don't know if that will affect it or not. If its autometer 17303 then Summit and Jegs say its for 92-96. There is a dual guage pod 15300 and a single 15301 that they say is for 87-96. So, you might not be able to get a triple guage pod for 87-91.

Thanks TexasGUY!
I will keep an eye on that one from Summit and/or Jegs.

I just would like that style with the gauges on the A-pillar!
That is always an awesome look in the cab!

IF ANYONE REMEMBERS:
I was reading an article from (I believe FourWheelMagazine) where they did that build up of the 92-96 FORD 4x4 F-150.
It was red in color, anyways...

They put that A-pillar gauge pod in, and they put in that piece a transfer case temp gauge!!!

A Transfer Case TEMP gauge is a GREAT upgrade, to keep an eye on your transfer case temp at ALL times (during towing, highway, hot climate, or possibly even temps from a low fluid/leak in your case!)

The BORG-WARNER case is a good case, only if you keep an eye on it and don't really abuse it. (just like anything else in this world!)
BUT, most BW tcases have gone to an early grave/rebuild because of lack of fluid and hot temps.


That is just my two cents.
TONY Z.
