where to get this dash pod?
I've seen this dash gauge pod on a few trucks before but can't find one to buy like this. Where do you get them? I have an gauge pod off an old snowmobile that i took a propane torch to and got to fit okay on my dash but it doesn't look the best and I wanna know where to get one like on this truck:

They say the 3 guage pod from a 3rd gen truck will work after some slight modafications.
I bought one but it didn't fit well enough to suit me no matter where & how much I sanded or cut. I'll probably end up selling it to somebody thats less picky than me...
Wish I had a three pod too man .

My gauge pod is also from Banks, I bought it about 8 years ago when I bought my exhaust system.
All of my gauges are now Autometer’s but I am not that crazy about them.
It is the special bottom base that makes it fit so well.
Lets take a look inside.
All of my connections fit neatly inside.
LED’s make them about 75% more visible that with incandescent lamps.

So Banks doesn't make them anymore? Man i wanted one... I guess I'll just have to do a little more fabbin to this old snowmobile gauge pod... But if anyone has one of these Banks pods and wants to sell it, let me know.
And RollinCoalSmoke, no i don't know the guy that has that truck. It was on the Buckstop bumper website cuz i was look at their bumpers one day and saved the pic. If you notice, its a 4-door too, i've never seen that before that is a diesel. Those bumpers are really nice, i like them... but they are a lil pricey... i think i'm gonna build on soon though out of some channel.

I emailed banks... to see if they have any laying around or will considered remaking them..

that stupid little base looks easy to make, i'm about to get some 1/4" plywood and go to town....

I bought my pod from a guy who was parting out an old wrecked truck. For reference, I paid $300 with shipping and that included the Isspro tach, VDO pyro, and Isspro boost with all the wiring. The pod was cracked and the gauges need to be cleaned up and replaced, but I thought it was a good deal.
