Default Triple Pillar Pods

About to pull the trigger on a glowshift triple pillar pod
The one thing that kills me about these is that I have to drill into my factory
pillar.

Does anyone know of a pillar pod that is a complete replacement for our factory pillars?

Also does anyone have experience with the glowshift pod? I know their stuff is cheapo so I wanan double check before it fits like ***

I bought a glowshift one before it fit like **** so i sent it back. Autometer's pilar fit better. No one makes a full replacement pillar with pods. I went to ebay and bought a stock pillar off of their to cut up.

DoubleD mods makes a full-up molded replacement pillar with a factory finish... at least for corvettes. i'd say he could do you one for the truck. only thing is that they're expensive (paid like $200 for mine a few years ago), but it was worth the not-snapped-on look.

The only thing you can do is take the autometer and fiberglass it into the stock piece. Do it right and it will be a show truck. BUT it will be really heavy and take hours of time. Plus you will have to match the paint.

I got to check out your truck a few months ago while shane was building it.

Clean truck man, Shane did some great work.
