VHX Instrument Gauge System | Ford Pickup (1951-52)

Billet bodies. Stepper motors. Your stock dash; untouched. The gauges in a 1951-52 F1 gave up decades ago. A fuel needle that lies and an ammeter that tells you nothing is not a gauge package; it is a decoration. This system is six analog instruments in precision machined billet aluminum bodies driven by micro controlled stepper motors with solid state sensors behind them. It bolts directly into the stock dashboard with no modifications. Choose Black Alloy or Silver Alloy faces and blue; red or white LED lighting. Fully lit needles; backlit faces and LCD message centers you can actually read at night. Sending units for oil; water and speed come with it; so drivetrain choice stays wide open. Dakota Digital backs it with a limited lifetime warranty.

  • No dash surgery - bolts into the stock 1951-52 F1 dashboard with no modifications.
  • Senders included - oil; water and speed come in the box so the drivetrain choice stays open.
  • Stepper motor accuracy - micro controlled movements and solid state sensors instead of a bimetal guess.
  • Readable at night - fully lit needles; backlit faces and LCD message centers in your choice of color.
  • Six finish combinations - Black or Silver Alloy faces with blue; red or white lighting.
