Dakota Digital 57-60 Ford Pickup & 61-67 Econoline Van VHX Instruments - Select Background & Lighting Colors Above

1957 brought us the first fleetside Ford pickup, along with a new dash. The small instrument cluster is just begging for an upgrade, and this direct-fit package is just the ticket! Use your stock 1957- 60 steel front bezel to install this six-gauge-system, complete with sending units in your choice of Black or Silver Alloy face styling. Drivetrains upgrades are not an issue; it’s compatible with everything from a Y-Block to a 4.6 modular motor!

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!

Technology
 ·Full LED backlighting provides a strikingly visual gauge package, with sharp contrast for ease of viewing both night and day. Full RBG backlighting allows you to create the specific color you want, with a unique daytime and nighttime theme if desired. Whether your goal is an OE look or something truly bold, the HDX Series lets you make that choice.
