3 gauge a pillar

I have a 85 f250 but the 87 a pillar gauges will work so I figure I should ask you guys here. I see the ones where it has 2 pillars but I am wanting one that has the openings for 3 gauges. Where can I get one? Also Id like it to be the full pillar. Thanks

My truck is an 89 and I was informed that they no longer (or ever did ) make a three pod for our years of truck. I bought one for a 93 and modified it to work. Not hard, just had to cut the bottom as it was to long.

Do you have a picture of the work you had to do?

Did they make a 2 pod?

I have a 3 gauge pod on my 88. I bought a universal fit from JC whitney. I had to trim it a little and take a hair dryer to mold it to the shape of my A piller.

I have a temp, oil press, and volt gauges in it. To me it is the best mod that I have ever done to my truck. It puts the gauges where you can see them.

I would post pics but I am at work away from home untill May 7. If I think about it I will post pics in my gallery after I get home.

I agree. I've looked for years and could not find a custom 3-pod. Universal ones that need to be shaped and trimmed are available.

I used the Autometer 2-pod for 87-91.

Here is a photo of mine:
