Yes that picture of the panel is in my truck.
It is an easy install , I will try and find the instructions.
It is an Autometer part.
I purchased the SRT Autometer gauges from Art at Henson Motors. He did not have the panel at that time but he may now. It has been over 2 years.
Art is very helpful and he will give forum members a good discount if you tell him you are an VTCoA forum member.
I also have a 2 gauge steering column gauge mount for the 2 SRT Autometer pyrometer gauges. I am not sure that I will use it as I am thinking of going with a data logger with a 10 Pyrometer read out. I have not decided yet. Data loggers are expensive but so are valves, pistons ect.
I have a 3 gauge A piller mount that is brand new. My truck has side curtain air bags and it won't fit. Correct color. Anybody want to buy it or got anything they want to trade for it?

Here's a link to the AutoMeter site for the "Triple Console Bezel" (aka: 3-gauge cubby hole mount) for our trucks.

I looked for installation instructions on their site, but.....nada.
Removal of the center section of the dash is easy, but first disconnect your neg. battery terminal. Why? Because you're going to be messing with wiring behind there, including the air bag on/off switch. Nothing worse that having an airbag blow when your face is really, really close to the dash.
Remove the one screw by the 'grocery bag hook', then carefully un-seat the spring clips all around the center dash piece. I start by the steering wheel and work my way (SLOWLY) around until it pops off. Dodge says there's a special tool for it, but...I just use my fingers.
Be careful not to yank too hard and scratch the faux aluminum face. That part is NOT replacable (you'll need to replace the whole face).
You'll need to disconnect the wiring for the starter, heater controls, and the pass. airbag on/off switch. Then the center dash section is out.
The cubby hole 'box', is held in place with 3 (or 4 little screws; I honestly don't remember). Remove the screws and the cubby hole box comes right out.
Done.
Well, except for the installing of the new gauges part.
