The ‘square body’ GM pickups are spreading like wildfire, and VHX-73C-PU is the perfect finishing touch for many of these builds. These kits are a snap to install with your original or reproduction dash bezel (not included) and provide up-to-date information with world-class technology while retaining subtle touches such as stock-location turn signals (now LED-lit) and provisions to retain the stock gear position indicator. 1973-87 pickups and SUVs through 1991.
Fully lit needles, backlit faces, and two 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!
