1948-50 Ford Truck VHX Gauge Kit

We didn’t forget about the first generation F-Series! Fitting into the stock dash of 1948-50 Ford F-1 pickups, the billet aluminum bezel has been precision machined and chromed to perfection. 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!
