Aftermarket Gauges in 97-03 f150s

Hello, I am looking at installing aftermarket gauges in my 01 supercrew and I would like to see some pictures of installs in 97-03 f150s. Mainly I want to see apillar pod installs, but I am up for seeing anything. Thanks in advance.

I like how that looks! I have grey interior in my screw. So to use that a pillar 3gauge pod, you just had to remove the grab handle and the new pod attaches over the original one? Or how does this one attach? I did a 3gauge pod in a buddys duramax and thats how it attached.

Here's mine ... Autometer full sweep electric gauges w/ Autometer pod. This pod fits over the stock pilliar ('99 doesn't have a grab handle on the driver side). I attached it double sided moulding tape ... https://www.f150online.com/forums/ar...9-f-150-a.html

Im debating between full sweep and half sweep right now. Im really leaning towards autometer because of how they have impressed me in the past.

I have ordered and received my Oil pressure, water temperature, and trans temperature gauges. They are 2-1/16 Electronic Short Sweep Autometer Phantom's. I also received and painted my Autometer 3gauge pillar pod.
