Dakota Digital makes or sells a lot of different possible solutions. Digital is generally considered far more accurate and stable than analog instruments.

1935- 66 Ford Pickup & Bronco

Here's one example of what they offer specifically for our trucks. It's only one of several choices though. Browse some of their stuff.

1961 - 1966 Ford Pickup Digital Instrument System

For the sweep speedometer folks they have this offering, too.

1965- 66 Ford Custom Cab Pickup VHX Instruments

No worries. They have one of the best warranties I've seen. And they include some of the sensors and the control box as a unit. I'd rather cry once and be happy after that - than to cry several times as things aren't all necessarily plug and play with others. But they are definitely not the only fish in the sea. Some people likely have bad outcomes no matter which company, too.

I've used Dakota Digital on a couple of builds and have been very happy with them.

One of the things I really liked about their cylinder head temp is that it is temperature compensated, many aren't. They know what they're doing.

In 2013 you were rewiring the turn (tern???) signals

In 2019 you were rewiring it completely

And who could forget this classic with my old buddy Robert - well....he did have a great sense of humor.

And this recent 2025 thread about gauges and sensors. Sounds like the same timeframe as some of my projects...😊

You're on a 6-year cycle.
I'll watch for your next post in 2031...
