Pillar gauge pods............ Any interest? - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-16-2010, 03:55 PM

Ok, I should add in here that we will need 50 per order of pods to get them made. So if we want a 2 pod, 50 people will need to want one. If we want a triple, 50 people will need to want one. I screwed up and should have made the poll have 2 options, triple or quad. If we get enough people there is hope of doing a run of triples and quads. We are already almost half way there on the triples because a few of us want more than one. And if we have more triples than quads I will settle for a triple just to get one.

I am getting pictures emailed to me and I wil post them up. These fit nice in the fords and I'm sure will fit nice in the chevys. As far as these being a blind spot, you'll have to get used to it. These can't be any worse than driving a newer truck with the huge pillars and the huge mirror hanging off the pillars. And as far as ricer? Yeah right, I've got a few pick ups that can show you ricer gauge pod power.

Just to clarify for some people...I am assuming that the pods are without gauges. I see some people wanting specific gauges with the pods. Are these pods for a common
2 1/16 gauge or for the larger 2 5/8 size?

good point... my dream would be one 2 5/8 hole for a tach and two 2 1/16 for vacuum and a/f ratio

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-16-2010, 10:28 PM

You are correct, these are just the pods. No gauges included and yes they will be for 2 1/16 gauges.

1) http://www.percyshp.com/HyperFiber.html
Now it's easy to make a DEVO hat.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_dome

2) i would so do this (make the pillars myself) if my crap was together.

3) i am ASSuming that "getting 50 people together" means we would have to put money down first?

i am sincererly and seriously interested and would definitely pay in advance as long as it is a quality product as i need a place to mount gauges w/out drilling into the dash in any way. i will accept 3 holes instead of my originially desired 4 holes if this helps the situation any.

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-17-2010, 08:02 PM

I'm with you totally. Since we are pretty close on the triples, I'll call him and try to hammer out the details. I'm sure this will all go through him as far as ordering and everything else. he has a diesel performance shop in Texas called Complete Performance. I will take pictures of mine tonight because I haven't recieved any from him through email yet.

pcmcobra · 06-18-2010, 12:05 AM

I would buy one w/ 3

Fixwhataintbroke · 06-18-2010, 12:25 AM

I'd likely go with three, but pictures would be nice first, before i fully decide

bikes&bowties · 06-18-2010, 02:09 AM

dude this would be so awesome if they are really nice!!! i want 3 but i'd take anything from 2-4 if I got the chance...

dropd80s · 06-18-2010, 08:28 AM

Pics would be awesome. BTW are these fiberglass or ABS? Also are these a complete replacement for the pillar, a cover that goes on top of the entire existing pillar, or just a pod that goes on top over a section of the pillar? I wonder how many times I could say pillar in one post....

I thought you were going for how many times you could mispell pillar in a post,

Fixwhataintbroke · 06-22-2010, 03:58 AM

IDK what you mean

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-21-2010, 04:27 PM

Ok, here are some pics. This ford one is a slip over style. I can check to see if the chevy ones can be made as a replacement but I'm doubting it.

85burb · 06-22-2010, 12:32 AM

Looks good. Would for sure go for one.

It isn't as bad as you'd think. I put my not so important gauge there. It is sure better than a gauge on the floor.

Or screwed to the dash

junkyardjohn · 06-25-2010, 09:10 AM

Yep... I'd take one at least.. 3 pod.. Sign me up scotty. John

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-22-2010, 10:27 PM

You might have to have more posts than 1 to vote in a poll. But IDK for sure.

87chevy.com · 06-24-2010, 12:03 AM

haha, but you missed the point, its for a ford... haha

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-24-2010, 04:34 PM

Yep it's a ford, with a real engine in it.

**Dieselwrencher** · 06-25-2010, 04:47 PM

Ok guys, we're really close. Would the people who voted for a quad and dual settle for a triple? If so we would only be 13 away from our goal of 50.

canadian trucker · 06-25-2010, 08:32 PM
