Default Any pillar gauge pod pictures out there?

Saw some pillar gauge pods out there on ebay and in my Mustangs Unlimited catalog. I have never seen them installed in someone's car though and wanted to see what they may look like. I have a tach on my steering wheel, and on my dash I have a pod that holds the oil pressure, oil temp and water temp.

Would be nice to get a voltage gauge in one of the two holes for the pillar pod, any suggestions for the second? I don't want the car to look riced out with gauges galor.

Any pictures out there to help my decision would be greatly appreciated!

I have one. The fit is not great. I think I got mine from NPD, but would not mind one that fit a little better.

The gauges that I like to see are
oil pressure
water temp
voltage
rpm
AFR
manifold vacuum
EGT
brake pressure (on drag cars).

Yeh, most of these are over kill for a street car, but I just thought I would throw out some ideas.

And I was just about to ask where you got it! Really, I need a 2-gauge pod for my 65 too but NPD only shows one for a 67+.

Thats the first time I have seen one in someone's car too. I can't say that I like the pillar pod setup. Its too bulky. I would rather have them under the dash the old school way.
