VHX Instrument Gauge System | Ford Pickup (1948-50)

Chromed billet bezel. Six gauges. Two message centers. The first generation F-Series usually gets skipped when the gauge companies write their catalogs. Not this time - this system was cut for the 1948-50 F-1 dash specifically. The bezel is precision machined billet aluminum and chrome plated; it sits in the stock opening the way the original did. Behind it are six analog instruments; every indicator you need and dual LCD message centers for the rest. Stepper motor movements and solid state sensors do the measuring. Fully lit needles and backlit faces mean you can read the whole cluster at night without leaning forward. Black Alloy or Silver Alloy faces; blue; red or white lighting. Backed by the Dakota Digital limited lifetime warranty.

  • Cut for the F-1 dash - the bezel fits the 1948-50 stock opening instead of asking you to cut one.
  • Chromed billet bezel - machined and plated; it reads as trim rather than an aftermarket panel.
  • Dual message centers - two LCD readouts carry the data six needles cannot.
  • Stepper motor accuracy - micro controlled movements with solid state sensors behind them.
  • Six appearance combinations - Black or Silver Alloy faces with blue; red or white lighting.
  • Limited lifetime warranty - the Dakota Digital standard across the VHX series.

Install Level: Intermediate - direct fit cluster swap with sender installation and cluster wiring

Fits the stock dash of the 1948-50 Ford F-1 pickup.

To top it off, we stuffed six analog instruments into this system along with all of the indicators, and dual LCD message centers provide even more information!

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 . Completely engineered and manufactured at our facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!
