Where to place fuel%oil pressure gauges?

I have a late 1999 PSD E350 Super Duty Cargo Van. I want to add fuel and oil pressure gauges but not sure where to mount them. Do you guys have any suggestions?
Thanks, Nick 99

Here's Autometer's website, I would go with a pod if you already have the pillar. I bet Clay could hook you up!

Fuel presure, I believe, should be mounted somewhere out side. There are some very cool gage mounts out there for your oil presure, maybe even go with a 4 gage pillar, but the fuel.. outside.

I'm looking to add fuel pressure in my truck and will definitely be going with an electronic unit so that it can be inside the cab.

As for your mounting options, do you have an overhead console? Do you use it? If not, you could mount them there OR there are gauge pods that are designed to go over the rear view mirror. CSIPSD on this site has about every gauge you can imagine in his truck.. maybe look up his profile/gallery.

I prefer the overhead console from Autometer. I have it in my truck and love it. Very easy to see, but discreet from the outside at the same time.

Sorry... Here is the link for the pic, but I don't know if it will fit in the van or not. It is fairly generic so I don't know why not unless the vans are different from the trucks.
