dual gauge pod dash mount

[02bigstrokin]

im looking for a dual gauge pod that mounts on the dash beside the pillar. anyone know where i can get one. thanks

I don't think anyone makes one specifically for out trucks, but I think I remember reading where someone bought one for a Mustang and made it fit. I think the writeup was on DP. FWIW, I really like my gauge pod that is mounted over the rear view mirror.

You can also get a dash cover that has 3 pods built right into the top of it.

X2 , I really like this setup , the gage's are put above the radio/ middle of the dash , looks pretty cool and the covers are paintable too .

Would you care to give a brief write-up on how you did that?!?! :coolspot:

The mount I have isn't the Trippin mount. It is a separate gauge pod that mounts above the rear view mirror and angles the gauges toward the driver's seat. If you can see the mirror, you can see the gauges in this pod. I really like it. I'll try to get a picture tomorrow in the daylight.

I just used wood for the face, then made ribs out of cardboard for the basic contour and hot glued them 90* from the wood, then glued a base to the bottom of the ribs to get the bottom shape. Then i stretched a old t shirt over all of that and glassed it, once it hardened i just tore the cardboard ribs and stuff out then did a little bondo to smooth it up. Hope that makes sense, I could go more in depth if you guys want

I think you're talking about the same one Trent uses on his tow rig, check out his turbo testing vids

I used a mustang pod once and it was very easy to modify.

i think what i may do is go with the steering column mount single pod and then go from my dual pillar to a tripple. its real hard to look at the overhead mounted gauges when trying to make test runs.

How do you get that pod to stay up? I have the 2 gauge pod and it keeps drooping down and moving my mirror then the light shines around the gap.
