Lets see your gauges! (picture thread)

Never seen a thread like this. Figured it'd be a good thread for people thinking about gauges and so we can drool over each others setups! Post em' up!

The 93. Autometer Pyro/Boost with factory tach mounted on the column. Need to pickup a fuel PSI gauge.




Only rule is Richie_O can't post his because we've all seen them 10 times j/k

Where did you find the plastic for your pyro and boost gauge mount? I'm doing something similar with mine.

Hey, Don't mention drips. This is the first gen section and we've had a lot of rain lately.

Oh, and Richie I put a big screw in the top of my pilliar gauge holder too. Cept I painted the head black so nobody notices it.

Here's mine, Isspro EV boost and egt gauges in the autometer pillar pod and tach in the dash pod (which is actually off an old snowmobile) and some custome paint. I am building a new dash pod out of diamond plate so I should have it done this week and I'll take pics of that installed because the one on there now doesn't fit the best. I still need a trans temp and fuel pressure gauge to fill in the two empty holes.

unfortunately the gauges were put in the truck years ago. if it were me, i wouldn't have drilled holes in the dash. but, can't do anything about that now. anywho, here's a before with a non-working pyro.... breathe! it's ok, the pump was and still is stock.



and here's after. even though nothing's change except for the pyro was replaced. now i just need a matching boost and fuel psi gauge to go with it. i'll more than likely buy a dual and single gauge a-pillar pod and stack them. the tack may have to move a bit to make room for the pillar pod.

Simialr to Brandon's, except I relocated the message center to the radio spot. Since I like to drive around topless, I figured no radio for the tweakers to steal.
