1968 Chevy Chevelle/ El Camino RTX Instruments

When GM redesigned the A body platform, the larger “Coke bottle” design meant a new dashboard; the ’68 Chevelle, Malibu and El Camino received two large square gauge openings. The RTX-68C-CVL is a bolt-in system that uses your stock bezel while adding a host of 21-Centruy features. A full-color TFT message center under the speedometer with an 8,000RPM tachometer in the center of a quad-gauge keep the driver fully informed while the OEM-look won’t ruin the vintage vibe. 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.
