need gauges

So after my recent trans instal I want to add a temp gauge for it so I know if its gettin to hot on me. At the same time i figure whay not add a pyro to the list. What would be a good brand to go with? Im thinking autometer? Any good way to mount them? If i wentwith a pillar mount do they make the plastic to match the interior and would uit be the proper year??

Autometer are good gauges. Isspro are top of the line IHO. Stewart Warner is another good old line. They do not make a piller mount for the 91 body style, but the 92-97 mount will work with some modification. I got a 2 gauge pillar mount for my 85, from NAPA, but it was a trim to fit, and only covered 1/2 of the pillar. Still it didn't look to bad, and it was for a work truck.

Would you have a picture of that Napa pillar you used? How much trimming was needed?

I have pictures in my album of the glowshift 92-97 3 gauge pillar installed in my 88.
The trimming is all at the bottom.
