DarkSide Instrument Clusters

I saw these new sets of gauges from Dakota Digital.

Ford Pickup VHX Instruments

I think I like the slantcab(53-55) better than the 56' model. Seems like the 53-55 would be easier on the eyes to see because they are not partially blocked by the bezel.

I saw this new set below done by Classic Instruments at both the F100 nationals and Nashville Good Guys



It is nice but my one drawback to CI's gauges is they dont do trip meters..!

Howdy,


A couple of years ago I bought one of the 6 gage aluminum billet "cluster" type gage supports from one of the online companies.....

Here's what mine would look like....



I will say that I have seriously considered the Dakota Digital instrument cluster you indicated instead!




But PLEASE.............. 160 MPH max? And 8000 RPM? With a Y-block?
