The new VHX System fits directly into the stock
instrument housing of a 1966-67 Ford Fairlane adding a wealth of
features to this iconic vehicle.
Plates included which allow use of stock radio, a block-off plate, or a
DIN radio (by opening up one of the included aluminum plates).
This 6-gauge system includes a new, fully-machined rear gauge housing, attaching directly to the stock dash.
Since the stock clear lens is removed (which
integrates through the stock radio), a pair of plates is included to block
off this space, add an OEM radio, or cut the blank for simple
installation of a DIN radio.
* Bezel is NOT included, fits into stock bezel
Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation.

Completely engineered and manufactured at their facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!
