Aftermarket gauges install
Alright guys, I got quite a few gauges to install and not a whole lot of good Ideas on where to install them at. A few weeks ago I got a 1991 F250, 4 wheel drive, ext. cab 7.3L IDI. Prior to purchasing the truck I purchased (for another truck I had, but never got around to installing) four 2 1/16 Sunpro gauges. I got two temp gauges (one for engine temp, and on for transmission temp), a volt gauge, and oil pressure gauge. All which are mechanical and soon I'll have a pyrometer, just haven't got around to purchasing it as of yet.
I've thought about mounting them just under the ashtray but have found they won't fit very well and I use my power outlet in the ashtray quite often. I've looked at various gauge cups but I'm not entirely sure that they will work with my Sunpros. A pillar pod would work but I still will have two gauges to mount. So I need some ideas. Anyone have a overhead council they've made for gauges and switches? Pictures of what you've got for a setup in your truck would be helpful. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,

I wish I had a map pocket, cause if I did I would just use that like you guys said haha. Yeah I was thing in of putting tyhe ones I monitor the most in the gauge pod and then sort of below my wait to start light and fuel in water light I could mount the other two that aren't quite as important. Brake controler is there now but I don't see any reason I couldn't move it more towards the drivers door near my left leg.
