Triple Gauge pods?

I was wondering if anyone out there has gauge pods on the a pillar, dual or triple? Was thinking about getting some gauges and was wondering what it would look like if anyone has any pics? thanks.

Ask and you shall recieve. These are the Z-series autometer gauges in the pic....I have since put in a set of autometer Ultra-lights with led bulbs.

If you're looking for triple, do a search for "Pro Pods".

I have been wanting to get gauges too. I wanted to get a tranny temp, oil pressure, and then some other one. Does anybody know where i can get good gauges for a decent price, some of the places i looked are crazy on prices.

It comes black.....I'm going to paint it a semi-gloss black to match the bezel colors in my truck. I used Krylon Fusion for my bezels with great results, the prep is the most important. Use an alcohol pad to to romove any type of grease, prime it with a wet sand, paint in small passes until you get good coverage, and finish with a mild rubbing compound to get rid of any orange peels. Optional is to wet sand again the dryed paint and spray a couple of coats of clear coat.

I have seen the triple gauge set up your talking about...but i dont want those gauges. I want a tranny temp, oil pressure, and maybe a engine temp gauge.

i knew there was one i forgot. yes i have thought about it but i do have to admit, once you've seen an air/fuel ratio gauge, it looks pretty nice with the bar bouncing back and forth with the push of the pedal, haha.
