1973- 77 Chevy Malibu/ El Camino/ GMC Sprint VHX Instruments:XHX-73C-MAL-X-X

Still working through decades of middle-child syndrome, the 1973-77 Chevrolet A Body is a fresh option for those burnt out on “the same old thing.” We've got direct-fit upgrades for cars with round gauges AND the rectangle variety! Either kit uses your original front bezel and gauge carrier to add modern technology, features and dependability to your Colonnade-era muscle car. Large LCD message center keeps you informed and allows expansion for auxiliary readings! Includes required sensors; bezel/gauge carrier not included.

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!

*Bezel not included, shown for visual/presentation purposes.

System uses OEM or reproduction style bezel.
