Check This Guage Mount Out

I found one of these 3 guage piller mounts if any of you are looking for a replacement to get the guages where they are out of the way. I don't like my setup where the guages are mounted to the dash with screws and a metal brackt. I actually used the bottom dash screw in the center just so I wouldn't put any screw holes in the dash till I found a 3 piller. It says its starts at 1992 but I don't know if it will fit below a 92.

I think it will, but you have to cut the top part off...maybe the bottom also...Thay make one that is a three gauge and sits ontop of the dash...

"Geno's Garage" was started by the founder of the "Turbo Diesel Register" which is a Dodge-Cummins only publication. His father-in-law is Geno who runs/ran the product sales operation.
I am a 9 year subscriber to the TDR and have purchased items from Geno's garage. I am very happy with both.

The difference between 87-91 and 92+ is the bottom of the pillar. On 92 the dash is higher/wider. Thats what makes the doors different. They have a flat spot where the door meets the dash, whereas the older trucks are all triangular.

I bought from glowshiftdirect.com and bought the 92-97 triple pod for only $27 something. I had to modify the pod to fit my 85 as they dont make one for it. Im just looking out for ya on the prices. I know some may be loyal to companies if thats the case ok but if not id try glowshiftdirect.com because its half of that in price...
Here is the link.

When it comes to mail-order I'm rarely really loyal, if a company sucks I won't go back though.
If it's that much cheaper there I'd get it from them.
