VHX Instrument Gauge System | Ford Pickup (1961-66)

One big round speedometer. That was the whole story. Ford restyled the pickup in 1961 and the smooth look ran through 1966. What it did not bring was information; the dash gives you road speed and leaves the rest to your ears. This system packs six analog readings and two LCD message centers into that stock gauge opening. Water temperature; oil pressure; volts; fuel and a tachometer all where the speedometer used to sit alone. It will interface with nearly any engine and transmission combination; a Y-block; an FE; a small block or a modern swap. Black or Silver Alloy face styling and blue; red or white lighting. Two things it does not fit: a Bronco and a Custom Cab dash. Check which cab you have before you order.

  • Six readings in one opening - the stock bezel keeps its shape and finally earns its space.
  • A tachometer the truck never had - useful the first time you drive a swapped engine hard.
  • Twin LCD message centers - two screens of data behind the analog faces.
  • Talks to any drivetrain - it interfaces with nearly any engine and transmission combination.
  • Night driving sorted - fully lit needles and backlit faces in blue; red or white.
  • Limited lifetime warranty - Dakota Digital backs the system for the life of your ownership.

Ford pickups got a major facelift in 1961, and that smooth styling lasted all the way ‘til 1966. The big, round speedometer lacks many vital signs desired by enthusiasts, so we whipped up an all-in-one system that packs six analog readings plus two LCD message centers into the stock gauge bezel. Does not fit Bronco or Custom Cab models, the VHX-61F-PU can be had with Black or Silver Alloy face styling and will interface with nearly any engine/transmission combo!

Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features which you don’t normally see are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors, solid state sensors for unparalleled accuracy, and user-customizable display feedback, all supported by an unrivaled limited lifetime warranty which has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems .
