I do believe that they are using the 2nd gen guage mount. Check Gino's Garage I remember people saying that that is where they got their's from.

Or if you only have a two gauge pillar pod, you can add on a single autometer one on top with a little bit of shaving of the plastic. That looks really nice from what people are saying.

I use a single gauge stacked on top of a 2 gauge, both made for first gens. They look pretty good, but my single on top is at a slightly different angle than the others. You have to look pretty hard to see it. If you do a better job at plastic trimming you may have better results.

Edit: here is the best pic I have. The angle difference is more noticeable if you're looking at the truck from the front. Atleast with this setup I feel cool like all the 2nd and third gen guys .

Yep. 2nd gen column mount from Geno's. Just got done moving my Isopro tach from a frog eye to the column pod.

Where did you buy the guage pods at? What size diameter gauge is made to fit in them? That looks real nice and I wouldn't mind having a setup like that. Great job on the install.

Yeah, I just ordered the (94-01) steering column pod for a single gauge. I believe the columns are identical, if not very close. I'm planning to put my trans temp gauge in it.

I bought a pair of universal dual pillar mounts from gloshift on ebay. Then cut them off at the base. I am trying to find an a pillar plastic piece to mock them to with epoxy. Then I am going to glass them to give me a 4 guage pillar mount. If I ever get this done I'll post pics. Maybe take orders LOL.

So, past 80 mph you just have to guess at your speed huh?

Seriously, all that stuff is at Genos too:
