Thread: 1972 Chevy K30 Longhorn Build

I've been contemplating an upgrade in my gauge choice as these trucks have no real nice way to mount extra gauges besides on top of the dash, under the dash where they're hard to see, or in a high dollar dash pad that can fit 3-5 gauges. I had been looking at the dakota digital set ups for these trucks and pulled the trigger on a VHX cluster. I can monitor my boost pressures, pyro, trans temp, and a lot of other things with this cluster. You can only see one extra reading at a time I believe, but you can set warnings with it, and you can add other features like a compass and out side temp, air bag pressures, gps speedo, and much more. I got enough for me to get the truck driving and can add the extras later. I went with the blue carbon fiber back round. I'm going to have to get on this thing so I can get these gauges hooked up and lit up.

You'll like the Dakota Digital gauges, Ryan!!! I've put them in a few cars over the years and had a few panels custom made---super quality and great people to do business with!!!!!

That's good to hear! I was really hesitent to spend that much on gauges. But, there isn't much out there that will do all what these do for the money and area used. The only other thing I have found that might be better is a racepak. And they are pricey too.
