Description
The Dakota Digital VHX Series for 1965-66 Ford F-Series Custom Cab trucks is a high-tech evolution of the classic dashboard. Specifically engineered for the unique, wide dash layout of the "Custom Cab" models, the VHX-65F-PU provides a seamless blend of mid-century aesthetics and modern digital precision.
Custom Cab Integration
Direct Fitment: Designed to mount directly to the rear of your OEM or reproduction gauge bezel. It maintains the iconic shape of the '65–'66 dash while replacing outdated mechanical components with electronic movements.
Modern Visibility: Features fully lit needles and backlit faces, along with high-contrast LCD message centers. Unlike original gauges that rely on dim perimeter bulbs, every tick mark and number is illuminated by internal LEDs for instant readability.
Precision Engineering: The system utilizes micro-controlled stepper motors and solid-state sensors to provide accuracy that mechanical cables simply cannot match.
Comprehensive Analog & Digital Data
The system provides a massive amount of information through a combination of traditional needles and dual LCD screens:
Analog Gauges
Digital Message Center Features
Speedometer (0–120 MPH)
Odometer & Dual Trip Meters
Tachometer (0–8,000 RPM)
0–60 MPH & 1/4 Mile Performance Timers
Oil Pressure (0–80 psi)
High Speed & High RPM Recall
Water Temp (100–260°F)
Digital Voltage & Fuel Level (0–99%)
Fuel Level & Voltmeter
Clock (12-hour)
Built-in Indicators
The VHX system cleans up your dash by integrating several indicators directly into the display:
Standard: Turn signals, High Beam, Check Engine, and Parking Brake.
Specialty: Cruise Control, 4x4 engagement, and a "Wait to Start" light for diesel swaps.
Gear Position: Can display current gear (requires the optional GSS-3000 sensor).
Engineering & Reliability
Solid State Sensors: Includes all necessary senders (water temperature, oil pressure, and speed sensor) to replace your original mechanical linkages.
American Made: Engineered and manufactured in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and backed by a limited lifetime warranty.
Auto-Contrast: The LCD message centers are designed to be visible even in direct sunlight and automatically transition to a night-mode look when the lights are turned on.
Note: This system requires your existing factory or reproduction trim bezel/facia for installation, as the kit replaces only the internal instrumentation.
