I'm tired of my gauges in the dash vents, I want the vents back and I've been on a less is more kick.
Really don't like gauges all over the place (especially the pillar), but I see the need for them within easy view.
I know they can go under the radio, but i'm just feeling it's too far out of the way to look.

For most other fords autometer makes a column pod.

But the foxbody never got a column pod.

I'm thinking about switching to the to an aeroforce analogic (analog with senders not the obdii) so I can just have 1, 2-1/6 gauge. (allows like 4-6 parameters on one gauge)
Thought about a universal pod bolted to the top of the column, but I like things to look like they were born there, not added and I doubt it will look that way.

Is there something that restricts our setup so they never made a pod for the column?
Like something is the way. I would think you could see it through the steering wheel.

I would look myself, but i'd have to get a ladder out of my van, climb up and look while the car is on the lift. So yeah, i'm feeling lazy.

I want to measure mine. It doesn't look that tall.

I feel you. I really wish there was something that fit into the bezel like the sn95s have.

Column, as in steering column..

http://www.autometer.com/2-1-16-single-steering-column-mustang-94-02.html

I like the factory look of the stock gauges, don't want to replace all of them.
Just would like to put a single 2 1/16 on the column like the 94+ guys can, along with the f150 and pretty much every other vehicle on the planet other than the fox mustang.
