Cluster Ford F100 1948/50

Ford F100 Instrument Panel / 1948–1950

Compatibility and Applications

This instrument cluster from ODG Instruments was inspired by the classic Ford F100 1948–1950 model, making it ideal for replacing original gauges or for use in custom projects. It provides all essential information for vintage and specialty vehicles.

Main Features

Original-Style Format

• Design inspired by the Ford F1 1948/50.

Customizable Lighting

• Translucent backlighting with 7 selectable colors and DIMMER function for brightness adjustment.

• Pointers feature independent white illumination.

Electronic Speedometer

Advanced Configuration

• Works with any differential ratio and tire size.

• Fully electronic, eliminating the need for a mechanical cable.

• Receives signal via a square-wave speed sensor (not included).

• Compatible with Hall-effect sensors (3-wire) or, when using the CSI-1 Signal Conditioner, inductive sensors (2-wire).

Speedometer Functions

• Total odometer with configurable starting mileage.

• Trip odometer with manual reset via keypad.

• Accurate speed display after calibration.

• Configurable fuel level reading.

• Indicator panel with 6 icons: turn signals, high beam, brake, oil, and battery.

Integrated Fuel Gauge (Displayed on the Speedometer)

• Programmable for any sender unit (tank/resistance type).

• Configurable by resistance values or using the “full tank” method.

• Includes 4 pre-programmed sender options.

• Low-fuel alert activates below 1/8 tank.

Multifunction Tachometer

Engine Compatibility

• Works with gasoline, ethanol, and diesel engines.

• Suitable for 4-, 6-, or 8-cylinder engines.

• Accepts ignition signal, programmable EFI output, or “Tach Output” from modules such as MSD, Mallory, etc.
