Does anybody have gauges mounted in the accessory switch area between the radio and the gauge cluster in their 95+ truck? I'm thinking about putting my boost and pyro there. Pictures? Thanks!

Are ya using the standard 2" gauges or a mini version, I too would be interested in seeing picture of this afterwards.

I wanna do standard 2". a boost and a pyro. Would sure be nice if they'd fit there.

I'm planning to mount a mini pressure (15psi max) gauge for the propane.
I think the standard size 2 1/16'' will be too big for those slots.

I found out today a standard 2" gauge won't fit where I mentioned earlier without a lot of plastic cutting (especially beside the climate controls). So I mounted my boost gauge as shown in the picture. My pyro is going to go in the upper right corner of the gauge cluster bezel after it gets here next week.

They're right there. Can you still not see them?

I'm not really happy about the gauge location shown, but I'm really out of ideas other than spending the $ for an a-pillar gauge mount. But I have a hard time spending $40~$50 for an a-pillar mount when those little chrome mounts are only a couple bucks.
