yeah screw the bottom one that i liked before i will probably do one of the top two or maybe figure out some way to do a combination of the two. by the way chasetruck you said that your boost and whatever were goin on the pillar most likely. i want to do this also but can't find an aftermarket one specifically for my truck did you make yours or do you know somewhere i can pick one up?

I made mine (pics below). The was a guy making some fiberglass ones for our trucks (a member here) but it kinda dropped off and never really finished.
I have heard that there are generic ones or one for a Jeep Cherokee that work - but I can't remember exactly.
Here is the steel one I made. It's currently painted black (I ground the welds smooth so you couldn't see them) and was in my dodge while the cummins was still in that.
Depending on what I do for a tach I might use this or make/buy a 3 gauge one...
Another user (78xltcrewcab) showed me this dash top one he got from summit for $20 or so. Next time I'd probably just grab one of these before spending a few hours on a custom one

yeah i looked at the dash ones i might get one but if i can find a 3 guage pillar one then i will get that cause im looking at maybe putting a 6.9 diesel out of a 83 350 in the 150 and putting a turbo and stuff on it so i need boost/egt/trans temp guages.
