What type of guages would you install?

Hi all.

First time posting and really didn't come across this question searching. I want to install a double post guage pod in my F150. I know I want a tach since it is manual and figure on a vacum guage for the second guage.

What guages would you install or feel would be a good double or triple useable combo

Thanks!

Not sure I would want a tach on the pillar, but as long as you can see it from your peripheral it would be ok...

For the other guages it would depend on what you do with your truck:

If you do a lot of towing, I would recommend a tranny temp guage.

Otherwise, I would just install a coolant temp guage since the stock guages are not nearly accurate enough.

i would put in a stock cluster w/ the digital odometer and the tach, for a clean stock look. if you go that route, you will need to go to a dealer to get the proper mileage programmed into the cluster to get it to work.
