Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-76C-PU-X RTX Instrument System is designed specifically for 1976-78 Chevy Trucks, paying tribute to the classic square-body gauge design while bringing modern electronics and late-model features into the mix. This bolt-in system installs into your stock or aftermarket front bezel (bezel not included) and uses OEM or reproduction style bezels for a factory-correct appearance.
Twin TFT message centers replicate the look of a vintage tumbler odometer while offering expanded auxiliary readings to keep the driver 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.
CNC-machined housings are filled with in-house designed electronics, and the high-definition TFT message centers can be fully configured to display a wide range of information. A central control box simplifies installation and setup, continuing Dakota Digital's commitment to easy-to-install, feature-rich instrumentation.
