Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-54C-PU-X is a dual-round RTX Instrument System designed specifically for the 1954-55 First Series Chevy Truck, delivering a stunning stock-inspired appearance with modern electronics underneath. Chrome-plated, machined aluminum billet bezels frame an OEM-styled 120 MPH speedometer with a bar-type tachometer nestled inside the sweep, preserving the vintage dash look while adding fully functional instrumentation.
A single TFT message center provides additional data for drivers who want more than the stock analog readouts ever offered. As part of Dakota Digital's RTX series, this system focuses on retaining an authentic OEM appearance in layout, face styling, and indicators, while incorporating late-model features such as programmable LED backlighting in a wide range of colors.
Built from the ground up with CNC-machined housings and in-house designed electronics, the RTX-54C-PU-X uses a central control box to simplify installation and setup. The high-definition TFT message center can be configured to display a wide variety of vehicle information to suit the driver's preference.
