Just a Question!!

Do any of y'all run a Triple Gauge Pilar for your IDI?! If so - where in the heck did you find the pilar?? I'm debating adding one to my old girl just as a means of extra security and to know what's going on inside the old block but haven't had any luck locating the pilar mount...

Glowshift makes a triple gauge pillar for 92-97 trucks, but it can be modified to fit bricknose trucks. I have pictures somewhere on here of what you have to cut off the bottom to make it work.

Yeah. OP, You gotta put what type of IDI you have? What year? Truck, Van, RV?

I ended up modifying a generic pillar pod with a heat gun, because they don't make any pillar pods for the 80's vans.

Agreed on that...
Judging from his other post, it looks like a bullnose truck... I'm not sure the glowshift pillar can be modified to work for them, I know it works on bricknose trucks like my 88 though.

To add a bit more info, both the 3 gauge and 4 gauge style can be easily modified for bricknose trucks.

I thought the Cabs/Beds etc... were about the same from 80 to something like 94.
What`s different about them? Or at least the "A" Piller.

The way the dash meets the side for one, and the trim. Im sure it will work with some trimming and persuasion. I have the glowshift 4 gauge pod, the autometer 3 was better quality, but i wanted 4
