www.genosgrage.com is great. They have the 94-02 steering column gauge pod (works on 1st gens). And they have the 2 gauge pillar mount for our trucks . As for gauges, ordering gauges off of the DTR store really helps the forum keep going too. ...... Usally boost and pyro go on the pillar and the tach is usually in the steering column pod. be sure to get a 2 1/16 tach so it fits in a regular pod. Autometer for the tach (alternator pickup) and Ive heard to stay away from autometer gauges for the EGT and BOOST although ive had no problems with mine. Hope this helps . Installing gauges is fun.

Steering column gauge pod only works if you have a tilt column.

Thanks for the info. I would like to put a tach on the column.

I also use Autometers and I always have. They aren't the highest quality gauges but they have never given me anything to complain about either.
