Banks Dash Mounted Gauge Pod

Does anyone know of anyplace that might have one of those sweet dash mounted gauge setups? I heard they were made a while ago and discontinued but was wondering if any are out there.

Hmmmm....that's what I was afraid of. I heard they were hard to find as well so I figured I would just ask. It just seems like the most economical way to fit more than 3 gauges in our style trucks...and imo it looks the nicest. Sure Lucas1..post some pics on the thread of what you have going on...fabrication is always interesting.

What made the Banks kit neat was the sub base that perfectly fit the contour of the dash and routed all of the wires down the right side.



By using different bases it fit many different applications.

Banks Engineering is only a few miles from where I live and is a very impressive place to visit.

You would have a better chance finding new teeth for your hen than a new pod for your truck.

Yes Pulltilbroke, that looks like the one....I had the one with 4 gauges in mind. An yeah....it looks like I will have to do some fabrication. The one from Summit doesn't look the worst either.

What Held the Base itself to the Dash? I see how the cover screws to the base, but never get to see the base to dash fixing.

I just watched a 3 holer sell on fleabay for $400!

I love my 2 holer but need more. I have one that holds 4 but it's useless without the base...

Mixologist - mine is just velcroed to my dash pad.
