Hey everyone. I was searching yesterday for a gauge pod assembly or something to put gauges in the little 'blank' on the ceiling console in my truck. Currently rebuilding the transmission and want to add a transmission temp gauge to the truck. I saw a post yesterday where they had two in the console and they were angled towards the driver. It looked like they weren't custom. Anyone have any ideas of where to get them? Or any other ideas? If i cant find that specific pod i will just do the A-pillar pod assembly.

agree i would do a home made blank either out of aluminum or ABS plastic.. also you have the option of angling them and glass in pods.. i think that 2.25" pvc pipe is the correct size you can get the joining couplings and use those as the housings and glass them to a flat piece so your gauges are angled at like 30* to the driver or as you desire...

take the little " Ceiling blank" which i am assuming its for a 2dr tahoe that doesnt have any rear heat controls and just drill 2 - 2 1/16" holes in it with a hole saw and your done. you will gave plenty of room behind it
this too works... only issue is the angle and if the gauges have thick bezels then the numbers on the let towards the driver get impaired.. but it can be done this way.. personally i prefer and angle

the gauges i got from glowshift come with those little angled shield thingys. mounted one in my truck i turned the shield upside down and used it to angle it the way i wanted to

kinda wish i didnt mount my light switches up there lol this was a good idea. Just make sure that piece is bigger than 2 1/16"
