If you're thinking about upgrading the stock cluster in your 1964-65 Falcon, Ranchero, or Mustang, hold up for a second. You really need to check out this bolt-in assembly. It’s not just a swap; it’s a serious upgrade. We've packed six analog-sweep instruments into your existing gauge bezel, along with dual LCD message centers and discreet signal indicators. You can choose between a sleek Black or Silver Alloy face and pick your favorite LED backlighting color—red, blue, or white. Just a heads-up, the front bezel doesn’t come with it, so keep that in mind.

What sets the MHX Series apart from the old-school gauges? Well, for starters, the fully lit needles and backlit faces make it super easy to read, even in low light. And those LCD message centers? They’re bright and clear. Inside, it’s all about precision—thanks to micro-controlled stepper motors and solid-state sensors, you get accuracy that you can rely on. Plus, you can customize the display feedback to fit your style. And let’s not forget the limited lifetime warranty—Dakota Digital really stands behind their stuff. Everything is engineered and made right here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, so you know it’s built to last.
