Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-63C-NOV-X RTX Instrument System is a direct-fit upgrade for 1963-65 Chevy II/Nova models, designed to mimic the factory gauge cluster without requiring any dash cutting. Using a stock or reproduction 1963-65 gauge bezel, this system delivers a high-definition TFT message center, LED-lit turn signals in the factory locations, and fully functional analog instruments for oil pressure, coolant temperature, fuel level and system voltage.
As part of the RTX series, this instrument system retains that stock appearance while adding late-model features, with OEM-inspired layout, face styling and indicators. CNC machined housings house in-house designed electronics, and full LED backlighting allows independent color selection for needles, sweeps and the digital TFT display, letting you create an OE look or something bolder.
A central control box simplifies installation and setup, and the system can be calibrated and operated through an included pushbutton rocker switch or the companion mobile app for Android and Apple devices.
