The new VHX Systems fit directly into the stock dash of a 1953- 55 Ford Pickup without modification.  Chromed, machined-aluminum dash bezel included.

The designers at Ford got it right when they penned the 1953-55 F100 lineup. Fitting the stock dash and complete with a chrome bezel machined from 6061 aluminum, this system is sure to bring your Effie to a new level!

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