Dakota Digital RTX-70C-MAL-X Gauges 1970-72 Malibu / El Camino Gauges
Dakota Digital 1970-1972 Chevy Chevelle, Malibu, or El Camino
Direct Fit Gauges RTX-70C-MAL-K
(That Didn't have the SS Round Gauges Dash)
Don’t yank that sweep-style dash in favor of an SS conversion just yet - this bolt-in system will make you think twice! The fully machined aluminum housing has been powdercoated black, and a pair of TFT displays is located under the speedometer. We added a tach to the right side with fuel and temp flanking the speedometer; oil pressure and volt info can be shown in the digital message centers, so you’ve got a fully-functional instrument system with a decidedly original look!
The RTX series is the latest from Dakota Digital, focused on retaining that stock look without sacrificing the late-model features you love. Every effort has been put forth to incorporate OEM design elements regarding the layout, face styling and indicators. A casual glance may dismiss these as original equipment, but once you hit the switch and the LED backlighting comes on in your favorite color scheme, all doubts will be removed.
Starting from scratch, CNC machined housings are filled with electronics designed and built in-house, helping Dakota Digital once again raise the bar for aftermarket instrumentation. The high-definition TFT message centers can be fully configured to display just about any piece of information needed. As you’ve come to expect from Dakota Digital, the RTX series utilizes a central control box to make installation and setup as easy as possible.
