Ok, so basically i was just wondering if guys with 5in. tachs and a column shift could post pics of where you mounted em. I'd put a floor shifter in it but being 16 and unemployed, prosticks dont come cheap so its a column for now. thanks,Cole

I still like mine on the front pillar.

Colesnsty68 · 02-20-2010, 04:42 PM

GMC Guy · 02-20-2010, 05:30 PM

Colesnsty68 · 02-20-2010, 06:42 PM

didnt think about mounting it like that.... anything else?

qu1cks1lver56 · 02-20-2010, 06:55 PM

Bring your patience with you if you mount it like I did. Took me a while and was very frustrating.

mine

Slofarmtruck · 02-20-2010, 07:19 PM

Only pic I have. I hid the shift light behind the heat vent on the right side of the gauge cluster above the heater control.

qu1cks1lver56 · 02-20-2010, 07:48 PM

I almost did mine like that ^
But since I'll eventually have a tach in the dash I didn't want holes right there.
Thanks for the shift light idea

slugish · 02-20-2010, 08:33 PM

PUT MINE IN DASH WHERE THE LARGE FUEL GUAGE WAS

PUT SMALL FUEL GUAGE OVER IN ONE OF THE SMALL HOLES.

mine

CoggedBelt75 · 02-20-2010, 09:02 PM

Here's my 5 incher. I have kicked the thought around whether to relocate it in the dash but don't like the idea of looking down.

Colesnsty68 · 02-22-2010, 10:39 PM

3r!c84 · 02-22-2010, 10:44 PM
