Bright Idea
Keith Bright was driving through tiny Basin, Wyoming (population just over 1,000), when he saw a ’58 Buick station wagon drive by in the opposite direction. “That’s strange,” he remembers thinking to himself. He could remember seeing only two other examples in his entire life. He had to have that car, but there was no time to follow the driver or flag him down. Bright returned to his home in Salina, Kansas, where he heads Bright Built Street Rods & Restoration, and occupied his time working on other people’s super rods. But he couldn’t get that ’58 wagon out of his mind.

Show-Stopping Design
This panel looks as good as it reads. Made from black polycarbonate with a slick brush-stroke finish, it turns your dash into the centerpiece of the cabin. Every gauge—speedo, tach, fuel, volts, oil, water temp—is dialed in for accuracy and legibility. Turn signal and high-beam indicators? Seamless. Automatic nighttime dimming? Yup, so you’re never squinting or distracted while driving.
Tech That Impresses
Intellitronix didn’t just make it pretty—they loaded it with features that make your truck smarter than most new rides. The speedometer hits 160 MPH and includes one-button calibration, odometer, trip meter, high-speed recall, 0–60 timer, and even ¼-mile tracking. Tachometer? 0–8000 RPM in 100 RPM increments. Volts? 10–18. Oil? 0–100 PSI. Water temp? 100–260°F. Fuel gauge? Programmable for Ford, GM, Chrysler, VDO, and aftermarket senders. Basically, it’s like strapping a miniature command center onto your dash.
Easy Install, No Drama
Intallation is idiot-proof. Comes with sending units, hardware, clear plexiglass, and step-by-step instructions. Works with both mechanical and electronic transmissions. Want pinpoint speed accuracy? Add the optional Intellitronix GPS Speedometer Sender—never worry about tire size, gear ratios, or transmission type throwing you off.
