Autometer has column mounts. Too bad you don't have a ceter console like the EXT cabs. That little cd door is a great hiding place for switches and gauges.

Does autometer make the bezel mounts for our trucks? If not you could make some up that put the guages at the top of the bezel just to the left of the tach. The guages would cover up part of the tach and the message center but, they would be stealth and easily visible to you.

Does your truck have the pull down cup holder, or is it a console, down the middle? If you dont mind holding your drink between your legs, why not put the guages in the folding cup holder as it folds into the dash, and would be very secret, until you show someone.

i've actually started making a fiberglass piece for where the air bag switch is for two gauges...i wish there was a bezzle piece with 2 gauges 1 on either side 1 fuelpressure 1 nitrous pressure...it would be great for electronic gauges with no liquids running up there.

I had my boost guage mounted in the overhead cubby hole. It would have easily held two guages. My 99 had a blank cover that I pulled off. When I was running nitrous, I had my switches mounted in that hole.

See if they make one of these for our trucks:
