My question is this, will the guage pod that goes over the mirror in a Super Duty fit in our trucks? Also if it does, and you have one, pictures please? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I've got the Explorer console in mine. There's a pick in my sig and some others in my gallery. Here's a link to the site I used for directions: FSB Forums - Explorer Overhead Console Install
My bad ... read everything too fast [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] . There's always the overhead gauge console from Rockin' S Performance, but I didn't see it on their website. The 4th picture down in this link shows it: http://www.wcc.net/~jkmccoy/fordtrck/gauges/gauges.htm
according to DPPI the pods made for the SD above the rerview mirror works great in the OBS. I considered it when planning mine. Too far out of the line of site for me. Contact Mark Craig at DPPI and check it out.

I did one in my buddies '97. it fit but not the way I would like it to, there is a small glare that comes out the front of the gauge cluster where it contacts the roof line. SD over mirror gauge pod in an OBS.
pics 1-3 are the best.

Well hey, if you're going to go so far as to take mock-up pics, you might as well mount it up! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Are you getting motivated to go do it yet?? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]
I think I will get either the SD 3 or 4 guage pod for my truck, thanks for all the help!!
