Looking for a dual column pod

I've already got a dual pod and have a boost and air fuel gauge, and it looks fine.


I just came across this other dash/console one i really like. I've seen a single one that sits on the column and i like this one better if i get any... I'd keep my two on the side and get this dash one and just ad a Trans temp and fuel pressure or something else...


But where can I get a dash dual pod at that will fit our trucks? Summit has one and it is like $45 or $50 but the only ones available are for a Super duty. Will that also fit? If not anyone else know where I can get that dash bezel at? Thanks, Shane

I'm suprised no one has done this yet, do they make one to fit our trucks?

I don't think it will ever happen--on an F150, the gauges would obscure vital stuff.

the one i want would cover up to much? There is no company that i know of either that makes the one i am loking for. What other options do i have? I dont want to get a triple pillar, i am happy with mine, i guess i can just remove my air fuel and throw in the trans temp and call it a day... i did see a single colum pod but didnt like it that much. Any other options i have? Thanks, Shane

Does that look like it will fit? It is on back order until March 20th but its still in production. JC Whitney has a 100% money back guarantee, so I’m thinking about trying it out. There is a location less than an hour from where I live. I was just wondering if anyone's tried that exact product from JC Whitney. Thanks, Shane

From the picture it would seem to have the same mounting holes as the origional dash bezel. There are screws across the top and some snap clips at the bottom. Don't think an overlay would work so it must replace the entire piece. Artie

going with the pic with the product from jc whitney and comparing that to my dash/colum stock it looks like it may line up. As long as those gauges are on an angle facing down i think they wont restrict much of either the factory gas gauge or the one on the right hand side, is that the engine temp? Hot or cold...

Anyway it looks like it site in on top of original dash piece. Anyone else see the gauges look to be on a downward angle?

Again i am going to try it out, it isnt available till the 20th of March, so i'll get back to you after that. But untill then if anyone else thinks it will or will not fit for sure, let me know. Please.
Thank you, Shane
