I was thiking about gauges today and alternatives to mounting them in the overhead or on the A-Pillar. I remembered this mount from my 300ZX days and wondered if it might work in our trucks?? It is a well made mount that points the gauges directly at the driver, at least in the Z. I was thinking about putting it into the lowest pocket under the center console but I think it is larger than a single DIN. I guess something could be fabbed to make it fit in there...
