Auto Meter makes some really nice gauges that last a lifetime. I have an old tachometer in my mustang and its lasted a really long time. Cant go wrong with them. You can order them cheap on Summitracing or Jegs.
You can also get pillar gauge mounts as well if you cant find a place to install it.

Just installed some auto meter gauges myself, oil pressure and water temp. Checkout the thread.

I have glow shift gauges in mine. I like them. They probably aren't as good as autometer, but I have had great luck with them. I ordered a universal pillar from them. It was $20. And with a little trimming it fit perfect.

One thing I've always wondered is why don't they "rotate" the gauges' mounts so the driver can see them straight-on?
It's almost like you have to be 7' tall to see them correctly.
Error from parallax can be a beach.

Actually with the way the pillars are in our trucks you look pretty much dead on at them in mine. This picture was taken at a weird angle because my camera lens wouldn't pick them all up otherwise.

The hardest part is making sure you have the correct adapters as most all after market gauges will need them.
I will cast another vote for Autometer I have had some in use for a very long time.
I don`t really care for the pillar pod mount it is to distracting for me to look there after all these years.:wabbit2:
