Anyone still make a full replacement pillar gauge mount for 88-98 trucks?

[SuicidalTherapy]

Just as the title says - want a gauge mount that completely replaces the pillar trim, and not just is taped/glued/screwed to the existing trim. Besides it looking like a broke high school kid's hack job to me, my pillar trim needs replacing anyways.

I remember having bought one for my '89 many years ago, but I don't recall from where, I'm not finding anything now, and I really don't feel like custom molding one again, lol.

Autometer still makes a full pillar three gauge that goes from the headliner to the dash that replaces the existing pillar for 94-98s.

Thank you @Husker6.5 ... I've been looking for one also and could never locate one.

I just went to Summit's site and entered "1998 C1500 full pillar gauge pod" and up it came.

So that's not a replacement pillar. It's the kind he was talking about screwing on or gluing

That's correct, but someone would have to look really hard to be able to tell it isn't a factory piece, assuming it's painted to match the interior color.

I don't think anybody ever made a "replacement" gauge mount pillar. The partials glue or screw on, but the full ones I've seen snap over the existing pillar cover and completely cover it, with the door opening windlace slipping over the outer edge and the inner edge hooking behind the front edge of the pillar.

And they can be ordered in GM interior colors, too!

That would be acceptable, as I really just don't want the add on look.

Unfortunately, that one isn't going to work for me either, as my truck is a '96, and I forgot that the interior trim changed with the updated interior in '95.

EDIT: Found the one for 94-98 trucks, but it still doesn't cover the entire trim. Maybe it's the year difference thing, and what I bought for the '89 just seemed like a full replacement because of the coverage. It has been a couple decades, and my memory may be fading, lol.

The one on my 95 which has the rounded dash covers completely.

Looks like it covers the bottom section, but the top section sticks out like a sore thumb to me... Maybe we're talking about two different things here?
