Its gonna be hard to do cleanly unless you can do fiberglass work to integrate it into your pillar. I would go with the f150 column pod for ease of use and its easy to remove if you sell the truck. Just my two cents.

Agreed^^^ I have the f-150 steering column pod and you don't have to screw it in.

Here's an old post that shows the double A-pillar pod and the F150 steering column pod w/ Autometer part numbers.

Pods:
  • Autometer 15308: Dual A-pillar pod (also available as a single 15309)
  • Autometer 15004: F150 Steering Column pod (requires minor trimming to clear the cluster bezel on a 95+ Ranger, fits automatic only)
  • NewSouth Performance triple POD-004: Triple dash pod (requires base trimming to match dash contour. Available as 1, 2 or 3 gauge pods, angled left or right.)
All of the pods above are set up to accept 2 1/16" gauges.

The pillar and column pods are the easiest to install and can easily be reversed if desired. The triple on the dash requires a higher level of commitment since holes have to be drilled through the dash to mount it.


Gauges:
  • Autometer 4357: Transmission Oil Temperature
  • Autometer 4348: Engine Oil Temperature
  • Autometer 4378: Air/Fuel Ratio - Wide band
  • Autometer 4344: Exhaust Gas Temperature (Pyrometer)
  • Autometer 4301: Vacuum/Boost
  • Autometer 4363: Fuel Pressure


All of these pods and gauges are from www.egauges.com.
