I keep looking for a 3 gauge pod mount for my first gen, and for most of the diesel accessory websites I've looked at, it's like the pre 94 trucks don't exist. Hardly anyone carries accessories for our trucks. I found single pillar mounts at genos, but nothing at all at diesel manor..

Geno's has dual pillar mounts, but if you want a triple dash mount, you may be SOL. (Sure Outta Luck)

Got mine from US Gear, but don't know if the sell them any more. I got it two years ago. They don't show it on their website but give them a call and see.

Or just buy a 2nd gen one and reshape the base to fit.

I got the dual A-pillar mount from autometer. You can use a 94+ steering column mount if its tilt. Other n that, were kinda SOL.

I've been looking for a triple that goes on top of the dash. I've also thought about putting them in the dash where the ABS message center now lives.

I found my triple dash-top mount at Advance.

The dash-top mounts are not truck-specific; they are flat on the bottom, to be used on Ford, Dodge, International, or Studebaker.

Mine is very similar to the one in Jim Lane's picture, above.

They sure sock it to you, though, for about a nickels worth of molded plastic, best I can remember was something like thirty bucks.

The gauge mount I have has a lower base that allows it to sit even with the edge of the dash and was specific to the truck and years. I think I paid around $30.00 for it.

The light is a map light that you could find on all of the police cars and fire trucks.
A lot of the departmants now use the one made by Hella.
I bought it from Lu's Lighthouse probably about 10 years ago. I have had it on 3 trucks now.
I have a 50-watt halogen lamp in it and it is bright.
Check AW Direct for them. http://www.awdirect.com/

I used cup mounts made by Autometer for my gauges. There's a pic in my gallery. I couldn't find a piller mount I liked for the 1st gen.
