Info
The 1940 Ford dashboard is iconic in original vehicles as well as swapped into many custom builds. VHX-40F fills the stock gauge opening with a machined aluminum bezel bathed in show chrome, and rounds out the package with state of the art electronics. Mounting to original studs, installation from the backside is an effortless affair.
Add the VLC-40F to complete the look (cannot be used alone).
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!
