Windshield pillar guages
hey i have a '74 f250 that i would like to put some aftermarket guages in. does anyone know of anyone that sells the guage sets that can be mounted on our window pillar, i'm a sucker for those. Any help from someone that maybe has done this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

thanks again pete

Nobody makes them. I'd started on fabbing my own but then ditched that project in favor of a custom dash. However, I think a really good looking and easy way to go is to use the Autometer guage pods and tweak the base a little bit so that they can be mounted on the pillar. They sell them in black and chrome. Personally I think 3 chrome pods would look killer mounted to the pillar. The only thing I don't like about pillar mounted guages is that they can tend to be intrusive for your visibility making for a bigger blind spot.

Just got a single pillar pod from JCwhitney. It is a generic and you have to trim it and mold it with a hair dryer or heat gun. Not done yet but based on the trial fit is it going to look pretty good. I believe they also sell a double mount.

Thanks for the universal idea, I'm not to good at fabing up my own stuff too much yet, i'm still alittle hesitant. But i ordered two of those, another for my 69 merc cougar, when i get them i'll put them in and see how i like them, or if i can get used to a bigger blindspot or not. thanks again
