A-pillar Gauge Pods ?? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Has anyone had any luck finding, making or modifying a 2 or 3 hole A-pillar pod for 67-72 trucks?
Looking for any possible solutions before I start glassing a prototype.
Thanx,
Bud

"my buddy" wrecked "his" truck into a light pole the other day. "he" thinks the a-pillar blind spot is big enough already.......... Food for thought.

Yeah, I saw those but I like having my dash pad. Besides, I know those are WAYYY more than they are worth

I am more interested in putting my AFR and mechanical water temp gauges next to my noggin.
Thanx,
Bud

Not really a concern for me. I don't have that problem or, I guess I have never really noticed it as a blind spot.

I think this "buddy" was blind in one eye from what I heard...
Now my dodge ram has a blind spot the size of a small car.
