Exclamation Ideas to hold 4 Gauges on the Pillar!!!!???

Ok I haven't seen anyone make a quad pillar mount for our trucks for the gauges. Anyone have ideas on how to get 4 of them nicely on the pillar??? I want to try and have all 4 on the pillar and not 3 there and 1 somewhere else...if I can. Anyone have pics of their gauge mounts/setups or ideas about that?? I was thinking about getting 2 of those dual pods and setting them there but wasn't sure how that would look. I know I've seen those ones that hold 1-2 or 3 and you can move it along the stock pillar to the height you want, so maybe get a 3 and a 1?? or 2 duals?? Anyone have suggestions.....pictures would be great too! Thanks!!!

it was from the the great BigBlue. bondo and fiberglass was how he did it. took a regular 3 pod and just added one more on top looked great until someone recked it.

I bought a four guage pod from diesel manor that mounts between my rearview and overhead console, kinda of a PITA sometimes but really a nice place for the guages. Out of the way and easy to see. I chose not to go with A piller guages just so they werent in my field of vision. I would recomend this setup.

Even though this is not a gauge pod I think this setup looks clean and would look great with 4 gauges. You could easily make the mounting plate your self.

I thought I had link to one with four. I will keep looking. I got my 3 pod here

http://egauges.com/vdo_acce.asp?Subg..._Ram_1994_1997

Here is a nice steering column pod if you can't find a quad.

The Pricol gauges I got have green lighting to match the
dash.

This is for 08 and up but Im not sure the differences and its not on the a-pillar

Ok, now what about a dual steering column?? I've seen the single for my year model, but no duals?? I think I have run across it somewhere though?? Anyone know? Thanks for the help with this. I have a total of 5 gauges, so I was thinking maybe 3 on the pillar and 2 on the steering wheel column(if I can find one like that)

You can get up to 6 gauges on one mount (4 max for the A-Pillar:

I don't find they obstruct vision at all.

They show a dual but I don't know why it is only available for later trucks? Maybe dremel timeand move your flasher button.
Have you though about a triple and add a single to the top. Might be real high up.
I found a four for a Ford but don't know how much modding would have to be done.http://propartsllc.com/prodDetail.php?ID=268
