Gauge Install Pics
I finally got around to taking some pictures of my truck. Here's the gauges I installed:


Here's a nighttime pic. I'm not sure why the pillar gauges look like they're a different color green, but they're the same color in person:

And here's some random exterior shots showing off the taillights I won from CarDomain:


EDIT:
I'm working on steadily eliminating all of the chrome. Next, I'm planning on replacing the front bumper and grille with red ones (like the Sport models) and putting a flat black rear bumper on. After that, I'm going to get some black rims, too.

The pillar is made by AutoMeter. It comes in black, and it has the exact same texture as the stock pillars. I was able to find some color-matching spray paint to make it match exact.
I like chrome, too, but only on darker colored trucks. I think bright red looks best with flat black accents.

Triple Pillar Pod, No Speaker ($59.95)
Interior Spray Paint, Chrysler Medium Mist Grey ($12.95)
Auto Meter Z-Series Manifold Vacuum Gauge ($46.95)
Auto Meter Z-Series Oil Temperature Gauge ($42.88)
Auto Meter Z-Series Transmission Temperature Gauge ($43.95)
Auto Meter Transmission Temperature Manifold, 3/8" Tubing ($37.95)
(This part lets you install the gauge sender directly on the pressure line coming out of the transmission. It is really easy and creates a nice, clean installation.)
I installed the oil temperature gauge sender in the stock drainplug. I had a speed shop drill and tap the plug.
I sourced the wiring for the illumination and power circuits from the radio.
EDIT:
If you want to have the gauges light up green like the stock gauges, get three of these LED bulbs, too:
Auto Meter Green LED Bulb ($12.95)

I didn't know Autometer sold green bulbs now. I have those stupid green covers on mine and I think they really darken them up. Thanks for the link !!
