UPDATED! Info on gauge pods for our trucks...

[BigAlVB]

Hello all! The company I contacted is Lo-tek, Inc. a firm which only produces gauge pods for vehicles. Check 'em out at www.gaugepods.com.

Min. order is 30 per project. If we want three pod units, we need 30 orders. If we want two pod units, we need thirty orders. As I understand it, we can't mix and match different orders. All orders must be prepaid for project to start. Pricing will be determined after receipt of OEM pillar. Most of their pods range from $40-$60. AFTER PROJECT IS COMPLETE THE PRICE WILL INCREASE. In other words, if you don't get in on the preorder, you may pay more in the future.

I would send in the OEM pillar out of my Suburban. Is anyone positive that the pillars are EXACTLY the same on the '91 Subs and the rest of the '73-'87 trucks? Need to know for sure. I figure we'll have them made for standard 2 1/16" gauges because of many gauges from many manufacturer's in this size. My interior is dark blue, they will make up to three colors but will then need donor pillars to do color matches. My pillar would be sacrificed, which is fine with me because it has a crack at the top anyway.

I would be the "project leader". IE, all info channels through me so they don't have numerous people to contact. Total time from receipt of final preorder would be two to two and a half months (approx). I won't get any special pricing or favors for being the project leader, just all the headaches .

It's up to all of you. Let me know if you're interested. I think this will be killer. I would like a three gauge pod. Respond here if you're in and we'll get going. I'll have to send in my a-pillar first to get definite pricing if at least 30 people will confirm interest.
