The Blue Oval squad can rejoice in the recent boom in popularity of the 1973-79 Ford F-Series trucks! You asked and we listened, offering a simple upgrade that makes use of the stock gauge bezel and hardware. Full-function is attained with six-analog gauge readouts and twin LCD message centers. Also fits ’78-79 Bronco.

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 their facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!
