I am just about to order the 3 gauge pillar from summit. part # 17305 but it says it only fits 97-01. Will this fit my o4 without modification??? basically will it fit??

 

I think you will find it don't matter where you get them from...
A little cut & shut is always required plus a bit of interior paint too.

If you seach on this site there is a wealth of information on the subject.

 

My only concern is if there is structural changes due to the grab handle which will not allow this to work.I am not worried about paint or perfect fit but i do not want to hack into the metal on my trucks pillar just for a gauge pillar.ANYBODY???????

 

I used LOTEK in my 2001 and it matched color and fit perfectly - I'd check with them - their web says pod only fits up to 2002 model year but it might be worth a note to them to check -

 

i researched it a little more and autometer did have one for 02 and 03 which im sure is only listed that way to keep new body style owners from buying.Im pretty confident i have the right one now!!!

 

Think that is the one I got.
No need to cut any metal, just trim the top slightly to get a snug fit.
Made some Ali brackets to fix it tight with the screws hidden by rubber door trim.

 

they DID change the cab interior around 2002. i got a lotek pod for my 03 and the Lotek guy told me they didn't make one specifically for an 03 due to the pillar change but it could be cut and shaped to fit. so if you found on that fits the new style then great, that's probably the right stuff.

 

I just used a single screw into the frame in between 2 gauges, which is painted grey in which you can't even see!

Hiya Everyone! I went with a Wideband Innovate Motorsports, I have attatched a few pics for you guys!

 

I have an 04 and have researched all of the pillar pods. Recommend the Lotek from gaugepods.com. It's comes painted and ready to go! Lot of them out there!
