Default tri pod pillar gauges

Im wanting to add some gauges to my truck.
Fuel pressure
Air/fuel wide band
Possibly oil temp

I only found the tripods in black for my silverado. My interior is beige. Does any one know where I can order beige color tri pod. Or do I need to just order paint and paint them. If I go the paint route do I need to clear?

I also had a question about where to tap for fuel pressure. Im going notrouis soon tapping for fuel on the passenger side fuel rail. Is there an apadtor or fitting to tap into shrader valve for gauge and notrouis fuel.

Thanks for any tips and advice.

i have a dual not a triple pod. you will need to paint to match, no need for clear just find the color that closest matches your interior color. as far as clear, mine isn't clear coated. for gauges, I have fuel pressure, and had nitrous pressure but now vacuum/boost pressure.

for fuel pressure u can pull off the fuel rail just need to remove the valve. not sure on the size port for your truck where the Schrader valve is but its usually a 4AN male so you would need a female to male with an 1/8 inch npt port on the side to fit the sensor for the pressure gauge into. this is how I did mine when I had nitrous. when I removed the nitrous I just used a 4an cap to block the fuel out but my fuel pressure gauge is still there and no leaks. check out some nitrous suppliers, they will have exactly what ya need as far as fittings.

Autometer triple pod fits fine in my RCSB.. Only thing I've read is trucks with a speaker on the pillar don't come in triples if you still want the speaker if I recall..
