Default Gauge Pillar for a Hardtop?

I've been looking for a full A-pillar gauge holder for my Z-28 hardtop. Apparently the Auto Meter #12210 has been discontinued. Does any know of another manufacturer that makes full A-pillar set ups for the F-Body cars?

No FULL pillars anymore, you're right they've been discontinued. What I did
is order the one for the T-Top and it looks just fine. It goes over top the factory pillar trim all the way from the dash to where the t-top pillar trim would end. It is beveled at that point and blends in very well. Held in place with 4 push pins.

They've been discontinued for at least a year or more. I talked to a bunch of vendors and they all said there was a lack of demand for the pillar and Autometer stopped making them. Must have called 15-20 different vendors
trying to find one in stock and no luck. Anyway, the T-Top version fits very well and blends in nicely. I have black trim and the color match was perfect.

I guess I'll give the t-top version a try. Thanks for the reply.
