Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-47C-PU-X is a direct-fit instrument system designed for 1947-53 Chevy/GMC pickups, featuring a stunning dual-round arrangement with chrome-plated billet aluminum bezels for a decidedly stock appearance. The OEM-styled 120 MPH speedometer houses a bar-type tachometer nestled inside its sweep, delivering a fully functional instrument package without disturbing the vintage dash vibe. A single TFT message center provides additional data for drivers who want more information at a glance.
As part of the RTX series, this system retains that classic stock look while incorporating the late-model features enthusiasts love. Careful attention has been given to OEM design elements in layout, face styling and indicators, so a casual glance may mistake these gauges for original equipment—until the LED backlighting comes on in your favorite color scheme.
Built from CNC-machined housings with electronics designed and built in-house, the RTX series utilizes a central control box to simplify installation and setup. The high-definition TFT message center can be fully configured to display a wide range of information to suit the driver's needs.

Notes

- Any modifications for fitment should be made to the vehicle's dash or surrounding housings rather than the RTX system to preserve warranty coverage.
