Las Vegas, Nevada – Long-known in Jeep CJ circles, Speedhut made a name for itself by perfectly blending a vintage aesthetic with today’s technology. And now its gauge catalog is expanding to even more classic vehicle applications.
So if you want to be rid of the bouncing needles and questionable accuracy that comes with 50+ year old gauges, but don’t want to upset the old-school vibe of your dash, then Speedhut is worth looking at.
…And look we did, in the 2025 SEMA New Products Showcase.
For starters, we’re big fans of the iconic Datsun 510. So when we spotted the clean lines of a Five-Dime cluster on the glass shelf next to the Speedhut name, we couldn’t help but smile.
The 510 is a beloved icon of the vintage import scene, and it’s clear that Speedhut put a lot of thought into making gauges for this tidy Datsun. The cluster features a dual GPS speedometer that delivers pinpoint accuracy—no mechanical sensors, no calibration. Just connect to 12V power, mount the waterproof antenna, and you’re ready to rock.
Better still, Speedhut shows you how to calibrate the other gauges with intuitive how-to videos, and the physical install requires no cutting or significant modification to the dash.
Rewinding the clock back a little further and we find this gauge package for 1947-53 Chevy cars.
And it’s the same deal here too—modern accuracy, easy install, and no major modifications to your dash. That’s a win-win-win for us (or a three-fer, in radio DJ parlance).
Both these new gauge packages feature Speedhut’s precision stepper motor technology that delivers smooth movement and precision accuracy. They’re made in the USA and backed by a lifetime warranty.
All told, Speedhut continues to show off more and more vehicle gauge applications for its time-tested gauge technology. And if you like having a reliable way to know your speed, RPM, oil pressure, and fuel level, we’re pretty sure you’ll be happy about that.
