Is there a 2 1/16" single A pilar gauge pod out there...

I just bought an Autometer tranny temp gauge and I know I won't need/want another gauge. So I'd like to mount this thing on the A pilar. Is there a single pod that exists for the newer F-150's. I want one that maintains the grab handle too. I haven't been able to find one.

My absolute last resort will be to remove the 12 volt accessory jack to mount the 2 1/16 gauge.

Thanks.

Well, I do have a 4wd so I'm not sure what the coin holder is. My coin holder is in the console.

I've been looking for an A pilllar pod, but they're all 2 gauge pods. I only want one. I guess if there was a dumby plastic insert that could cover the second hole that wouldn't be too bad.

I've also noticed that most of the pods are black. This clashes with the tan interior I have.

I did once see a guy put a gauge where the 4x4 switch is. Obviously I need this switch, but the 12 accessory switch on the other side of the radio could easily be removed. I consider this my last resort though.

hey man, maybe buy this one and paint it with interior paint, then use doublesided tape (3m) like on the chrome door handles, and put it on that way.

Ya, I've found a bunch like this one too. But like this one they're all for the old style truck. Not the 2004 + style. Thanks for lookin though.

not sure if it the right size but there is a single pod that mounts in the air vent, maybe that would be a alternate way to go. did a search and found that it is a rousch product for the mustang, f150 and it doesnt block the airflow either.
