RTX Instrument Gauge System | Ford Pickup (1973-79) and Ford Bronco (1978-79)
Stock bezel. Modern cluster. Two screens instead of idiot lights. A dentside dash was never short of space; it was short of information. A fuel gauge; a temperature gauge and a row of warning lamps that only speak up once the damage is done. This system fills that opening properly. An LED bar graph tachometer sits above the speedometer and twin full color TFT message centers carry everything the factory never gave you a dial for. Sensors for oil pressure; coolant temperature and speed come with it. Your stock plastic or metal bezel stays; the kit was designed around reusing it. Bluetooth and the free app mean the backlighting color changes from the seat. Running a Lightning or Coyote drivetrain - add the BIM-01-2 OBD-II interface and the cluster talks straight to the engine.
Install Level: Intermediate - bolt-in cluster with a central control box; sender and harness work required
