VHX Instrument Gauge System | Ford Pickup (1973-79) and Ford Bronco (1978-79)

Dentside dash. Six gauges and two screens. The 1973-79 F-Series has gone from cheap to sought after in about a decade. The factory instrument panel did not improve on the way. This system uses the stock gauge bezel and the stock hardware; you are not fabricating a panel or filling a hole. Six analog gauge readouts and twin LCD message centers go where the originals were. The same package covers a 1978-79 Bronco. The body copy also lists the 1973-89 E-Series van. Fully lit needles and backlit faces; micro-controlled stepper motors and solid-state sensors behind them. Black Alloy; Carbon Look or Silver Alloy with blue; red or white lighting. Dakota Digital builds it in Sioux Falls and backs it with a limited lifetime warranty.
