If you've got a 1968-70 Mopar B-body and you're tired of that old, lackluster dash, let me tell you about the VHX package. This isn't just some aftermarket gimmick; it’s a direct-fit upgrade that slots right into your existing instrument surround and dash pad without any fuss. Seriously, you can get this thing in and running without needing a degree in rocket science.

What sets the VHX apart? First off, it’s got a single, large LCD message center that keeps all the important info right in front of you. You’ll get six analog-sweep instruments that are way more informative than what was available back in the day—think of it as the difference between a flip phone and your latest smartphone. Everything is illuminated, with fully lit needles and backlit faces, making it easy to read whether you’re cruising at night or in the blazing sun.

Now, let’s talk tech. The VHX uses micro-controlled precision stepper motors and solid-state sensors, which means you're getting accuracy that’s hard to beat. You can even customize the display feedback to your liking. And if you’re worried about reliability, Dakota Digital backs this system with a limited lifetime warranty, so you know they stand by their work.

Manufactured right in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, this system really shakes up what you might expect from instrument panels. Just look at some of the specs:

• Speedometer: 0 - 160 MPH (or go metric with 0-225 km/h)
• Tachometer: 0 - 8,000 RPM
• Oil Pressure: 0 - 80 psi
• Water Temperature: 100 - 260°F (optional metric version 40 - 120°C)
• Fuel Level: E, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, F
• Voltmeter: 9 - 17 VDC

And that’s just scratching the surface. You’ve got an odometer that can be set once and will track a million miles, dual trip meters, and even a clock. Plus, for those who love to push their ride, there are performance meters that track 0-60 times, quarter-mile stats, and more.

Oh, and let’s not forget the indicators. You’ve got everything from turn signals to check engine lights, and even a gear position indicator if you add the optional sensor. There’s a ton of customization here, too, with over 30 color options for the needles, sweeps, and digital displays. You can set it up however you like, whether you want to keep it classic or go for something a bit more flashy.

Brightness? You can control that too, both for day and night, right from the setup menu. If you want to get fancy, there’s an accessory you can add for on-the-fly brightness adjustments.

In short, if you’re looking to breathe some life back into your classic ride, the VHX system is a solid choice. Just make sure your Dodge Coronet or Belvedere is from 1968-1970 and you’re good to go. Oh, and keep in mind, it might take about 12-16 weeks to arrive, but trust me, it’ll be worth the wait.
