The only bolt-on alternative gauge mount I know of is the Just Dashes dash pad replacement with 3 pods in the center. A-pillars are much narrower on these trucks than the later trucks you normally see that pillar pods are made for. Then again, maybe someone makes them that I don't know about

Re: Who makes A pillar gauge pod for our trucks

Do you just like the idea of a gauge pod on the a-pillar? I see them as a modern truck thing because the plastic dashes full of electronics are not too friendly to modification. And the fat a-pillars offer the best alternatives. These trucks are so simple to do a dash any way you like with plenty of room for any gauge needed. I always thought a tach mounted on the a-pillar was the hot lick and have done that on these trucks before. It is visible from outside the truck, gives the look of performance, and is a better location when gettin' it on. Just shift the eyes left real quick w/o looking down. You still have the road ahead on level within your periphery. I don't care for those center of dash pads one bit either. I love a tach up on the dash, too, but no can work with these trucks
