F-100 Buyer’s Guide The Latest Products for Your Ford Truck 

Ford built its trucks to meet a certain standard back in the F-100 days. Now that we have all raised the bar on what we accept to be safe, reliable, and powerful, these old pickup trucks are simply useless as-is. We know that one of the biggest issues with modifying and restoring the classic Ford F-100 line of trucks is the knowledge base of parts that can be installed by pretty much anyone with basic mechanic know-how. So, we decided to help that cause by publishing some of the most reliable, installable, and affordable parts in the industry, specifically for F-100 trucks.

So, sit back and dig into the extensive list we put together. See anything you like? Have you used any of these parts in the past? Do you have plans to buy something on this list and install it yourself? We want to hear about your plans and keep up to date with your projects. Email us some pictures and information on your ride!

’65-’66 Custom Cab Pickup VHX Instruments

The 1965-’66 Custom Cab F-Series trucks used a unique dash layout, straying from the large round opening found on earlier models. The VHX-65F-PU from Dakota Digital fits directly onto the rear side of the OEM- or reproduction-gauge bezel for a quick and painless installation while looking right at home in the coveted Custom Cab dash.

Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things you can see that set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features you don’t normally see are the micro-controlled precision stepper motors, solid state sensors for unparalleled accuracy, and user-customizable display feedback, all supported by an unrivaled limited lifetime warranty that has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems. Completely engineered and manufactured at the company’s facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry.

This package makes use of your stock plastic or metal gauge bezel, and includes sensors for oil pressure, coolant temp, and speed.
