ok so i have tried universal gauge pods and i do not like them. They look like crap. Im done messing with them. So does anyone know were i can buy a dual A pillar gauge pod for a 1986 f250.

 

Welcome to FTE.

This thread from the sticky at the top might help.

 

do they make one that will screw right on, because i have tried fiber glassing and i am no good at it. i just want to be able to run wire up to the gauge and screw it right on

 

To my knowledge, nobody has found anything in the aftermarket made for the pre-1987 models, adaptation has been necessary.

 

ok thank you

 

I found this stuff called bondo hair it works just like bondo but has fiberglass in it. it is way easier to work with than fiber glass. I will post a picture when i get it done

 

OK, thanks

I have been wanting to do this same thing too....I believe the 87-96 pillar pods will work, but I'm not sure if they have the single screw in the middle like the 80-86 trim pieces they replace. Like ctubutis said, you might have to get creative to make it stay. If that pillar pod doesn't have a hole for the mounting screw you could always drill out a hole or two in each end and put some in yourself and it'd hold it fine.

Then again on the other hand, I'm thinking of relocating my wiper and headlight switches and making that area (as well as the cubby hole area on the other side of the column, on the same bezel) into a place to put all my gauges....I have two autometers stuck in the cubby hole and it looks pretty good, for what it is

 

TheKirbyMan Ya i thought about using those spaces to. I just ended up molding it into A pillar cover doesent look to bad for me being a beginner at this stuff. i will try to get pictures up
