Default A-Pillar

Hey guys I can't find a A-pillar for a two gauge pod for a 86 ford f-350. Will a pod from the 87 and up body styles work or is the a web site or some place where I might be able to find one for the 86 and under body styles.

You can use the newer pod. I used an Autometer 87-96 pod in my 85. The only thing is that it will have a small gap on one side since the pod is rounded and the pillar has a sharp angle. I used double sided tape and it stayed on there just fine.
