If you're restoring a classic 1948-50 Ford F-1 pickup, you’ve got to check out this MHX Series gauge system. Seriously, it fits right into your stock dash like it was meant to be there. Made from billet aluminum and finished with a slick chrome, it’s not just about looks—this setup is packed with features that make it a game changer.

Inside the bezel, you’ll find six analog gauges that give you all the essential info at a glance. We’re talking about a speedometer that goes from 0 to 120 MPH (or 0-195 km/h if you prefer metric), and a tachometer that revs up to 8,000 RPM. Oil pressure, water temperature, fuel level, and voltmeter readings are all included, too. Each gauge is lit up with bright LEDs, so whether you're cruising at night or in the bright sun, you can see what you need without squinting.

What really sets this system apart are the details. The micro-controlled stepper motors and solid-state sensors mean you’re getting accuracy that most old-school setups just can’t match. Plus, you can customize the display feedback to fit your style. And let’s not forget the lifetime warranty—Dakota Digital stands by their stuff, which is a huge relief when you’re investing in quality gear.

Now, let’s talk about the digital message centers. These are no joke. You get an odometer that you can set once (and it'll roll over a million miles), dual trip meters, and even a clock. But it doesn’t stop there. You’ve got performance meters for tracking your 0-60 times, quarter-mile runs, and more. Everything is displayed clearly, with an auto-contrasting LCD that makes it easy to read, day or night.

Installation is straightforward, too. The kit comes with all the sensors you need, including a water temperature sensor, an oil pressure sensor, and a cable-driven speed sensor that replaces those old Ford or GM cables. Just keep in mind, you’ll need about 5 inches of clearance for the speed sensor, and if you need a little extra room, there’s an optional part to help with that.

And for the techies out there, calibration is a breeze with the included pushbuttons. You can set everything up in no time, from the speedometer to the fuel gauge, and access all that digital info with just a press.
