Dakota Digital HDX Instrument Gauge Cluster | Black Alloy
Fits 1966-77 Ford Bronco and 1961-66 Ford F-series Truck
The Dakota Digital HDX Instrument Gauge Cluster is a direct-fit upgrade for 1966–77 Ford Broncos and 1961–66 Ford Trucks, offering a seamless blend of classic aesthetics and modern functionality. Featuring six analog gauges complemented by a 2.4-inch full-color TFT message center, this system retains the stock trim ring, preserving the original dashboard appearance while providing enhanced readability and performance monitoring. The black alloy gauge-face styling adds a refined touch, and the system allows users to customize illumination colors for both gauge readings and needles, as well as the message centers. Calibration and personal settings are easily managed through built-in capacitive-touch buttons or via the Bluetooth app compatible with Apple and Android devices. Installation is simplified with a central control box that integrates with vehicle-harness sourced signals and includes solid-state sending units for straightforward connectivity.
