You might want to consider this

I did this to my 68 about 69 or 70.

I holesawed 3 holes in the top of center trim panel,where the center vent for a/c car would be.I cut some pie shaped pieces of chrome exhaust tips the same size as the gauges so it would angle towards the driver.the brackets were cut at same angle so they would hold the gauge in place. First set of gauges were Stewart Warner custom face,with 270deg sweep.They were then replaced with the later style SW black faced ones when a clutch explosion took out the water and oil gauge.
If you do it right it will look factory,and be easier to read than the pillar pods.

3 will fit in there
you need to angle them towards the driver

I see they are now reproducing the custom face gauge
now calling it "greenline"
wow kinda pricey but worth if if you like the look
