Which do you like? 
1953- 55 Ford Pickup RTX Instruments RTX-53F-PU-X
1953- 55 Ford Pickup HDX Instruments HDX-53F-PU
I like the classic look, but others like the two separate mph and rpm, getting closer to getrting my '55 back on the road. Thanks, L8R ZFLASH

Actually like them both a lot. If I was doing a refresh / restoration trying to stick to as close as original I would definitely do the RTX, but if I was doing a resto-mod where I swayed from originality on the rest of the truck I would do the HDX version.
Both are nice. Dakota Digital is a great company (I have one of their clusters in my 70 challenger) and interestingly enough they are located in the town I live in (Sioux Falls, SD). I toured their factory a few years back before the pandemic, they still haven't restarted factory tours.
Spendy, but high quality.

The RTX Was not out when I got the HDX kind of glad it would be a hard choice

Thanks guys, the RTX arrives tomorrow, it was cheaper through Summit than Dakota. To answer the tach question, I believe it's below the speed numbers and goes across the bottom. My truck is still a ways from finish, but I like to have the parts here before we get to that area. That way we're not waiting for them when it's time, L8R ZFLASH
