Here is an alternative to ill fitting gauge pods or pods that break the bank. I bought a 25 dollar fully enclosed gauge cup from a local auto value store. There is enough room to easily fit three or four gauges on the pillar. I is mounted so that the gauge is facing directly at the driver (can be adjusted to fit you really tall or short guys ), not like the autometer one that only works for 6' 20'' people.
This is the view from the driver seat.
This is the view from the outside, pardon the glare of the glass. The wire is barely visible from the inside or outside of the truck. I took some really thick electrical tape and wrapped the wires in it. If you wanted to go to a little more trouble, you could drill a hole in the trim piece to shorten the exposed wire from about 7'' down to 2''.
Be careful though when you drill through the plastic trim piece, it cracks real easy.
Oh. and here is a picture of the truck.
