Dual needle and controls for the helper bags in the 99. Decided to mount them in the toolbox.

Sweet gauges man, ever though about getting an altitude gauge in there

The one far right WAS an altimeter, in metric though. I decided I didn't care that much, and the trans temp was more useful.

I need to replace the cheap ass coolant temp gauge.

Depending on your interior I would either put them where the cigarette lighters are and make a custom plate to go there or if you have the center console maybe where the cupholder/cd holder is, again with a custom plate. And if you did the console you could have a lid to cover them to deter thieves from thinking you have a truck worth stealing for some reason. And no I am not saying your truck isn't worth stealing but just saying it might be another reason for them to take a second look.

I'm wondering why you really want to put any of those guages in your truck in the first place. It seems kinda ricey to put them in for show and I know thats what you were trying to avoid by not going with pilar guages. I can see the point to fuel pressure underhood for diagnosis and A/F ratio if you are tuning yourself as well as tranny temp with an automatic, but what are you gonna gain with fuel pressure, vacuum and oil temp? Not trying to be an ass, just seems like a lot of trouble to end up with a scenario you were trying to avoid.

theres nothing ricey about gauges, look at a 69 camaro with the gauges on the console and a hurst shifter, if thats not the most bada$$ muscle car console I dont know what is. and as far as my gauge selection I want the fuel pressure for the obvious reasons... vacuum can help you get better gas mileage, sounds dumb but $4.30 for gas is a little nuts, and the oil temp is more or less a filler, I have a manual trans so trans temp doesnt make sense, we have a pretty good gauge setup stock so just fill in what gm didnt give us. I can see how you think gauges are ricey, you just have to pick the right ones... I would prolly pick some basic autometers with a black face and either white or orange needles (similar to our clusters) and definitely without 37 colors to choose from for backlight...

honestly, i wouldn't bother with the fuel pressure inside the cab, not really needed, just put it under the hood.

Vacuum gauge is a good idea, i used one in my ford, made a small MPG difference.

well then I need to set about finding a safe way of mounting one...

If you are gonna use a electric gauge it will have a sending unit. If you are gonna use a mechanical gauge , & mount it in the interior, then you will have use an isolater. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/ATM-5282/?rtype=10
