a-pillar gauge pods

does anyone make a gauge pod that can hold more than 2 gauges? i know autometer makes a double gauge pod, and i saw a triple one, but it wasnt for pickups. i want to mount 4 gauges in my truck, any ideas? thanks!

You might want to check again. I saw two different triple pods for my '96 pickup.

When I installed my two guages on the A pillar, the only options for a '95 F150 were with 2" gauges. I only use Autometer 2 5/8" gauges, so I had to dig through all the different types they had until I found a very close match. Unfortunately, this was almost 3 years ago, and I don't remember which vehicle's A pillar gauge pods fit the F150. Just go to your local Hi-Po parts store and see if they'll let you check a few for fit. You may have to install two dual gauge pods if you want four gauges.

Take care

Donate,
I was also looking for a tri-pilar for some of my gauges.
I'm not sure if they make it anymore but i have Part # 17303 from autometer.The application years were from 87-96.
Hope this helps.

What size gauges are you planning on using? A dual 2" and a single 2" will fit.

Take care

finally got a response from autometer. they told me that i can install a double 2 1/6" pod and a single of the same size right after it, but it may require some trimming of the pods to fit. has anyone ever tyried it? Im thinking of going for it!
