Cummins Swap Gauges

I have searched the forum and could not find much on where everyone has put their gauges for their Cummins swap (i.e. EGT, Boost, Tach). I am wrapping up swapping one in my 79 F250 but unsure where to put them. I was thinking maybe try and put three small gauges right around the steering column but it may look weird. Putting them way under the dash makes them out of the way and hard to really pay attention to. I don't want to cut my dash up for now either.

A piller beside windshield and door driver side or maybe an overhead console

See my gallery. I built a new dash insert to get speedo, tach, fuel level, volt, water temp, and oild pressure. EGT and manifold pressure went in pods on the dash.
