    I ended up using a 2 gauge and a single gauge pod for a chevelle.

    Yes,there are A-pillar gauge pods available in the aftermarket. Usually listed for Chevelle. I don’t remember who makes them,but I have seen them listed in Summit.

    I got them from summit made by Autometer after some heating and stretching and trimming I got both of them to fit pretty good, however I forgot to apply my adhesive promotion before painting hopefully it will hold up ok

    I want to add gauges to mine. I'm wondering if the A pillar would look out of place on a restoration focused on originality. I know they are def the most readable. Wondering if under the dash wuold look less obtrusive

    Guages are an absolute must in my opinion. The big three , whether under dash or elsewhere cannot be left out. I also have a single pod on my a-pillar for my AFR guage. Wack it with my hand almost every time I go to wave out the window. But it is easy to view cruisin . Jim

    I have a custom console with gauges and cup holders, however I’m going to replace it with an original with floor shifter. This is why I went to the A-pillar.
