Default Gauge pod ideas.

Like I the title says I'm entertaining ideas to mount a few gauges in the truck, 99-06 silverado/sierra. I've found a few right ups and website but not really liking what I've found, id like one that goes in the cubby hole next to the AC controls or one that fits in the overhead console, but I want one tbat sticks out and faces towards the driver, or in anyone knows anyone that makes one or can id like to have one custom made for my Bose center console. If anyone knows any good websites or has any ideas let me know.

Thanks.

This one doesn't stick out like you mentioned. It's more of a flush mount, but it does angle towards the driver.

Ive got the SoCal Diesel overhead mount and its really nice! Most people that ride in my truck never even notice it. It sets the gauges angled towards the driver.

Do you have a center console. You can buy the angle pieces from auto meter, have them face you..

Yes I do. I'd like to have it in the center console, and that's where I'd like it to be.

No part number. It was cut from a piece of sheet metal, then I cut the holes in it, wrapped it in 3m di-noc.. I used auto meter angled bezel rings from a local hot rod shop like these(http://www.summitracing.com/parts/at...WkIaAjON8P8HAQ..) It was the factory part of the console I cut out to mount the plate..

Mangled it looks clean but how can you safely watch the road doing a wot pull essentially staring at the floor? I have a 2000 rcsb with the escalade interior and I'm running one gauge where the factory clock goes (trans temp not something crucial to watch while driving) then I moved my radio from the dash into the center console. And luckily have a buddy with a 3d printer who custom made my bezels so he made me one for where the stock radio goes the din an a half area an THen a piece for where stock clock goes an another two for te cubby hole next to it. I don't have a photo bucket account so I can't post pics but I could text them if interested

Here's mine, pulled this overhead console from a Tahoe at the salvage yard and installed it into my reg cab truck. Molded the pod off the original pocket
