I have several panels if I want to switch back to stock at a latter date. With the gauges in the panel there are no holes in the dash.

I've seen those in Geno's catalog (single column mount). How much tweeking do you have to do to get them to fit our trucks? Looks good, like something the factory "should" have done.

out of curiosity, What is so different between the two? Does it not mate the bottom on a 1st gen correctly?

This is made for fuel pressure but I use it for Oil pressure also.

There is no tweaking it is a direct fit. I still have no idea why they aren't listed to fit our trucks.

My understanding is they will only fit ours if you have a tilt column but will fit all second gens.

i've also read it only fits the 1st gen columns with tilt as well.

bobva - that looks like a good idea, i may just go ahead and redo it with an isolator installed. thanks for those links.
