Trucks TV - Single Gauge Pod and Edge???

Trucks TV reran the F150 Fabtec 6" install show today, and they installed a single A pillar gauge pod AND also the edge pod, something I've been looking to do. The install also retained the grab handle. They did not mention the pod brand name, but I've searched all the usual suspects, ie Autometer, Summit, Jegs, etc but no luck for an 04-06 F150. Anybody have any ideas? I wonder if they used an different year or an F250 pod and modded it to fit, maybe?

EDIT - Just thought of this, maybe it was a dual (which Autometer makes for the 04-06), and they cut it down...LOL

I saw that show today. What is up with the EDGE Nitrous controller. If I get get a 50 shot, that would be great. What ever happened to Stacey on that show. Its a good show though.

Yeah Stacey was good. The new guys seem to show us how to bolt stuff onto trucks. Stacy showed us how to build trucks. Man he had some great buildups...Hairy Hauler, Tomb Raider Jeep, Copperhead, the OLY-style Bronco, all great trucks! Never did hear why he left...seems like all of powerblock is going younger/hipper/etc so maybe it was a corp decision?

I like the little guy, I've seen him on TV shows before. The other guy is just a meathead that much think he's a WWE wrestler, from the way he talks. He needs to go, he ruins the show for me.

Just aiming the show at a younger audience. The only thing that was said about Stacy was the he was "going in a new direction". Rumor mill on the net is saying that Stacy is planning on putting out a new show on another network. Something about he wasn't able to do what he was wanting to on the shows. Maybe he'll get a new haircut. =) But then again, he might not be Stacy without it. LOL

You won't get many good pointers from watching the show it took them only 8 mins to do the whole lift. Use the directions, which are very good. It took me and two friends 8 hours to 90% of the lift and myself another 2 hours the next day to do my lift. Two good mechanics probably can do it in 6 hours or so, but most average poeple are around 8 hours.

Ok im just worried about having the right tools, we have some but i dont believe everything. what were some of the main problems if any that you ran into when installing your kit. Does the standard fabtech kit come with new from coilovers and shocks?

It looks like one of the main tools they use that I dont have is a cutter. I want to get a whole kit of air tools but there too expensive. Cutting stuff would be fun though. I heard stacey left since a lot of the cars he made were crushed. that sucs. should just send them to me for me to evaluate.
