Tail dragger, gasser, oh-so-smooth kustom or simple driver, the 1940 Chevy can look good in any guise, but what can be done about that small gauge cluster? This bolt-in instrument system affords six analog-gauge readouts in addition to pertinent indicators and twin LCD message centers for the utmost in information. Fabbing a new dash is cool, except when bolt-in looks this good!
This kit includes a machined aluminum font bezel that’s been doused in chrome. Get it with your choice of black or silver face styling; either way you get six analog gauge readings augmented by a pair of LCD digital message centers. Speedometer runs to 120mph, and the supplied sensors make installation a breeze, whatever engine and transmission you choose!
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.
*Bezel not included, shown for visual/presentation purposes. System uses OEM or reproduction style bezel.
