The V-shaped cluster found in 1955-59 Chevy pickups (sorry, not GMC) is unmistakable and has found its way into more than a few custom vehicles. Capitalizing on the space, you’ll find a single LCD message center large enough to display two readings at one time, nestled in the middle of six dedicated analog instruments. Fits stock or aftermarket bezel (available separately).

Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and highly visible LCD message centers are a few of the things that you can see which set the VHX Series apart from yesterday’s traditional approach to instrumentation. A few of the features which 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 which has become the standard for Dakota Digital instrumentation systems . Completely engineered and manufactured at our facility in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation industry!

*Bezel not included, shown for visual/presentation purposes.
System uses OEM or reproduction style bezel.
