09+ Gauge Pods?
I found an older thread on this with no definitive results, so I'll re-ask the question. Has anyone found a decent set of gauge pods for the 09+ F150s? I'm looking to mount an air pressure gauge and control switch for a rear air bag setup. I have no strong preference for pillar mount or dash mount. I just need a double pod since the gauge and switch will need to be close. I've found plenty of the dash vent type mounts, but that won't really work with the plumbing I'll need to do. Thoughts?

It won't be an exact-fit and will need some modding and/or fabrication, however, this could/would replace the dash tray .....
*2004+ Saleen S331 dash guage pod. Can usually be found on ebaY® for ~$20.
*For reference ... The base measures 8½" X 7¼"

Wow....really don't know what to say....guess the forum has gotten in touch with it's sensitive side....
That dash top pod is an interesting option. Not sure i can make it work with the gauge and switch I need to use, but it's definitely along the lines of one of the concepts I've been thinking about.
Thanks,

I don't own an EcoBoost, but if I did that tray setup would be an awesome spot for a Boost/ EGT guage set. Maybe if not EGT since not really necessary on a gasser, but perhaps a REAL oil pressure guage and not a dummy one like the OEM in the cluster.

When I bought my truck 2 years ago I was thinking about using the Saleen dash tray setup for boost and EGT gauges. Unfortunately that setup fits the dash tray on 04-08s but not 09+. For now I just run a boost gauge with the Roush vent pod.

I've looked at the Roush pods. They look good, but I need a double pod set-up. I'm going to bag my truck and need the double to hold the air pressure gauge and compressor switch.

There are a lot of options on the market now that allow you to use a single pod with two or three functions.
