Gauge locations

Im looking to buy an oil gauge, and a temperature gauge. Hooking them up is not much of an issue (well maybe the temp. gauge), but the problem is where to place them on the dash in my 84 Bronco. The 90;s dashes have nice slopes on either side which are perfect mounting points for gauges, but the 80-86 dash is square and blocky. Are there any of you with the 80-86 that have mechanical gauges? And if so, where would you mount them? Im having a bit of a time finding a spot that I would like.

-Matt.

The "A" post gauge pods are really cool and if they fit the later models they should fit the older ones I imagine. I have "oil", "water", and "vacuum" mounted on the "A" post in my '93.

Looks good. Like I said, the 87-96 ford dashes could easily accomidate the gauges vis a vis the slopes on either side. However, I was wondering if there was anyone who has mounted gauges on their 80-86 dash's and where they put them.

Thanks
