Default tripple gauge a-pillar pod installed!!!!

i happen to have an extra, brand new autometer pod for my 98 ram, got to lookin at it, then did just a little trimming on the top and bottom, and it looks like it was made for the dak!!! damn... now this means i need to get some more gauges, oh well they will be needed for some upcoming mods

I wanna see that one since no one makes it for our truck so I would think that you customized it to fit your truck cant wait to see it.. Cya Slick

ok, here we go, the first pic is the original pod, this one does have the tweeter hole in the pod but you can get them with out, i think it might even fit as 1.5" gauge, it would brobably look pretty slick color matched like the original, but the black goes with my truck so it may stay...

thanks, i was suprized how well it actually fit, in fact it fits cleaner in the dak than it does in the ram, i just used a bench grinder to shape it, completely removed the original cover and used one screw (longer than the original), which is completely hidden from any normal view, between the bottom and middle gauges,
