Does anyone make a pillar gauge setup to fit the 80-86 body style ford pickups? I already have boost and pyrometer gauges under the dash and don't want it to get too cluttered under there! I'd like to add a trans temp, coolant temp and volt gauges, unless I can find a pillar pod for 4 gauges then I'd do oil pressure as well. I'm open to other ideas as well, now that I've got this thing running like it should I want to keep an eye on my vitals so I don't fry something or wind up stranded or both! Thanks for any advice you can give.

@SuperDave i had a glowshift pillar 3 gauge pod in my IDI, i believe @Laine D has glowshift gauges in his bull nose. the plastic should work the same for either truck. i am 5'4", if you are short like i am you wont be able to see the top gauge as well as you can the middle and bottom when you are going down the road.

So there isn’t a 100% perfect fitting pod but I used the glow shift one For an obs PowerStroke and just cut the top and bottom off. The 3 gauge pod is tricky to see the top one but the 2 gauge is much more easy to see. I like the boost gauge on the dash.

I might try that glow shift one, it looks like it might work out well enough. If not I guess I can do it like an old semi truck and put a gauge anywhere there's a spot big enough to stick one!
