Anyone try to put gauges out of a semi in there pickup, just wanting to know if they would be an option, if they would work.

You probably want pyro, boost, trans temp, and maybe rear diff oil temp? Oh yes that is doable. The Do_g_ and Ford have A-pillar replacement mounted covers for gauges. Then you just need more spots you can make a bracket up for the floor??? This would be a fun job. If doing a pyro I would do both sides and then have better info of EGT.PM me if you want more info. Good luck.Where is Clive I will have to look it up?

Just talked to the truck wrecker guy today, he said the pyro gauges are 4 inch. To big for me I guess I`ll get the same thing everyone else gets. I just thought I could get a good quality guage set for cheap.
