Details
Info
These classic trucks strike a nerve with people everywhere, yet the simple dual-round gauge layout has long posed a challenge for rodders seeking more information. Dakota Digital offers six analog instruments and two LCD message centers in custom-machined and chromed bezels that fit directly into the stock gauge openings of both Chevy and GMC trucks.
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.

Notes
Calibration
Pushbutton
- Dakota Digital instruments are programmed and operated by the push of a button. Simply mount the included pushbuttons supplied with your gauges in a convenient and easily accessible location. These buttons are used to calibrate your speedometer, set the cylinder count and the fuel level gauge. Once properly configured these same buttons are used to access the wealth of information located in the Digital Message Centers.
Dakota Digital Direct-Fit instrument systems are fully engineered to fit the stock dash opening of the vehicle they were designed for.
If you are interested in using this instrument system in a vehicle in which it was not intended to fit, you may experience installation challenges as it relates to mounting and proper viewing angle.
Additionally, any modifications should be done to the vehicle’s dash or surrounding housings, rather than the VHX System, as to prevent damage and retain warranty coverage.
Approximate dimensions are as follows:
- Required opening: 5.2”
- Overall dimensions: 5.95"
Depth will generally mimic the stock gauge cluster, this often falls in the 1.5”-2.5” range.
