Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-73C-PU-X RTX Instrument System is styled specifically for 1973-75 Chevy pickups, paying tribute to the original gauge design while bringing modern, late-model technology into the mix. This bolt-in system is designed to work with your stock or aftermarket front bezel (not included) and maintains the beloved square-body look, with CNC machined housings and in-house designed electronics raising the bar for aftermarket instrumentation.
Twin high-definition TFT message centers give the appearance of a vintage tumbler odometer while offering fully configurable auxiliary readouts to keep you informed. Factory turn signal indicators are converted to modern LED lighting, and the OEM gear indicator can be retained or displayed digitally with the addition of an optional GSS-3000 sensor. A central control box simplifies installation and setup, consistent with other Dakota Digital instrument systems.
