Couldn't load pickup availability
Known as the “bumpside” by Ford truck enthusiasts, the 1967–72 Ford pickups are a breath of fresh air compared to their GM counterparts. This direct-fit package is designed to work with both the plastic front bezel and the steel version, though neither are included. Supplied sensors and available expansion modules allow the system to integrate with the drivetrain of your choice, while the full-color TFT message center provides additional information at a glance. Black or silver face styling is available.
Available in your choice of black or silver alloy gauge-face styling, each HDX system allows you to select independent illumination colors for the gauge readings, needles, and message centers. Calibration and personal settings can be adjusted using built-in capacitive-touch buttons or the available Bluetooth app for Apple and Android devices. Each needle hub features black nickel-plated spun aluminum to match the control buttons.
All HDX instrument systems include dead-faced indicators such as turn signals, high beam, check engine, cruise control, and parking brake, along with two user-definable indicators. Each gauge also features a red, settable warning light. The included central control box simplifies installation, using vehicle-harness sourced signals and supplied solid-state sending units that connect cleanly to their respective terminals. Click the tabs below for a more in-depth look at the HDX series.
Bezel not included, shown for visual and presentation purposes only. The system uses an OEM or reproduction-style bezel.
