I mounted a VDO 2 1/16" in where the clock goes... Really pretty and just about looks like it belongs there. I've got an automatic so I don't really need to look at it all the time, but it's nice to reference every once in awhile.

I can't find the pic of it in the truck, but I know I have one at home.

Picked up the gauge from Summit Racing... Roughly $100 or so...

After that all I needed to do was trim the hole for it where the clock sat, cut a hole in the back of the cluster case and in the gauge lens. Lots of time with the dremel to get it as close as I could. Sits behind the bezel perfectly.
