VHX Instrument Gauge System | Chevy/GMC Pickup (1947-53)

Two round holes. Eight readings. The Advance Design dash is honest and spare; a speedometer and one cluster of small gauges. It is also the reason anyone building one of these trucks has spent time staring at the dash wondering where the information goes. Dakota Digital answered it in the stock openings. Six analog instruments and two LCD message centers sit in custom machined and chromed bezels that fit directly into the holes that are already there. No cutting; no adapter rings; no filler panel. Lit needles and backlit faces; stepper motors and solid state sensors; user-customizable display feedback and a limited lifetime warranty behind all of it. This one fits both Chevrolet and GMC trucks - the only cluster in the Chevy pickup range that does.

  • Both stock openings filled - six analog instruments and two LCD centers where two round gauges used to be.
  • Lit needles and backlit faces - readable at night and readable at noon.
  • Stepper motor accuracy - micro-controlled movements and solid state sensors instead of a bimetal guess.
  • Backed for life - Dakota Digital covers the VHX series with a limited lifetime warranty.
  • Built in South Dakota - engineered and manufactured in Sioux Falls; not sourced and badged.
