Transcending the hot rodding world, the ’57 Chevy car has become an American icon. Big tail fins, rockets on the hood and V8 power spells freedom on four wheels. For us, the triple-round gauge cluster is the perfect place to put six analog gauge readings, along with a big TFT display. You can view nearly any drivetrain parameter without sacrificing the world-class dashboard. Reproduction chrome trim is available separately; must use cast-metal housing for installation. Don’t forget to add the matching HLC clock for the passenger side. The HLC-57C clock cannot be used without an HDX system.
Available with your choice of black or silver gauge-face styling, each HDX system allows the user to select independent illumination colors for the gauge readings and needles, as well as the message centers. Calibration and personal settings are manipulated with the built-in, capacitive-touch buttons, or the available Bluetooth app for Apple and Android devices. Each needle hub is black nickel plated spun-aluminum to match the buttons. All HDX instrument systems feature dead-faced indicators (turn signals, high beam, check engine, cruise control, parking brake, plus two user-definable), and a red, settable warning light for each gauge. With our central control box, installation is greatly simplified with vehicle-harness sourced signals and supplied, solid state sending units connecting cleanly to their respective terminal.

****All VFD Instrument systems and individual digital gauges are built to order and have an estimated 4-6 weeks build time before shipment. Many VHX and VLK/ VLC, HDX and HLC, RTX and RLC Instrument systems are built to order and have an estimated 18-20 week build time before shipment. This is an estimated time-frame and is not a guarantee that items will ship within the above time frame due to unexpected delays. Backorders may not be known at time of order; if a backorder arises we will attempt to contact you as soon as any issues are known.
If an extended shipping delay is known, an email will be sent to you stating the estimated date of completion.

GSS-3000
Pair your gauge housing with the newest generation of gear sending unit from Dakota Digital. The GSS-3000 accommodates automatic transmissions with 2- 4 forward gears, plus park, reverse and neutral.
DIM1
Although Dakota Digital instrument systems are programmable for both day and night intensity levels, the DIM-1 will allow rotary, or on-the-fly brightness adjustment added convenience.
