Hey there, classic car enthusiasts! Before you dive into swapping out that stock gauge cluster in your 1964-65 Falcon, Ranchero, or Mustang, you really should check out this slick bolt-in assembly we’ve got here. It’s got six analog-sweep instruments snugly fit into your existing gauge bezel, plus dual LCD message centers and some nifty hidden signal indicators. You can pick from a Black or Silver Alloy face, and the LED backlighting comes in red, blue, or white—so you can match your vibe.

What sets the MHX Series apart from the old-school gauges? Well, for starters, those fully lit needles and backlit faces make it super easy to read, even when you’re flying down the highway. And let’s not overlook the tech under the hood: we’re talking micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors that deliver accuracy you can trust. Plus, you can customize the display feedback to fit your style. And yeah, we back it all up with a lifetime warranty that’s become a hallmark of Dakota Digital’s instrumentation systems. Everything is engineered and manufactured right here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, so you know you’re getting quality.

Just a heads up: the bezel isn’t included, and this setup won’t fit the '65-66 Custom Cab F100 trucks.
