The 'square body' GM pickups have enjoyed a boom in popularity recently, and VHX-73C-PU is the perfect finishing touch for many of these builds. Easily installed using an original dash bezel (not included) while providing up-to-date information with world-class technology, the system allows use of OEM gear indicator and turn signal locations.
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 their facility in Sioux Falls, South
Dakota, the VHX Series has completely revolutionized the instrumentation
industry!
*The VHX-73C-PU fits into a stock dash bezel (not included).
