Try summitt or jegs...If they dont make them for your truck you might have to get them for a later year & trim them to fit...There just plastic & you can paint them if you want to ..Lew

You'll need to get ones for an 87 up and modify them. As far as I know, no one makes a specific set for 80-86. If you're good with fiberglass and bondo, you should be fine.

I was looking in one of my Mustang catalogs and found guage mounting cups. I've been thinking about getting some of those to mount guages on the pillar.

The 87-96 pods will work as-is if you dont mind the small gap. If you look at the pod you can see the ends are curved while the pillar has an edge in the middle. It creates a small gap on the top side closest to the windshield. It wasn't big enough to bother me.
