HDX Instrument Gauge System | Ford Pickup (1956)

Built-in visor. Wrap-around glass. One model year. The 1956 F-series is the one people photograph. That visor above the windshield is the line everybody knows; the dash under it deserves better than a speedometer and a fuel gauge. HDX bolts directly to a stock or reproduction bezel and fills the opening with six analog instruments around a single TFT message center. Supplied sensors and available modules let it integrate with any drivetrain combination; flathead era iron; a small block or a modern swap all report to the same control box. Choose illumination colors independently for the readings; the needles and the message center. Set it with the capacitive-touch buttons or the Bluetooth app. Every gauge carries its own settable red warning light. The indicators stay dead-faced until they have something to say.

  • Made for the 1956 dash - bolts to a stock or reproduction bezel with no filler work.
  • One clean TFT screen - a single full-color message center instead of a pair of small monochrome windows.
  • Colors chosen separately - readings; needles and message center each take their own illumination color.
  • Any drivetrain - supplied sensors and available modules cover the combination you built.
  • Dead-faced indicators - warning icons stay invisible until they matter.
  • A warning light per gauge - set the threshold yourself rather than watching a needle.

Install Level: Intermediate - cluster removal; control box mounting and sender wiring

Bolts to a stock or reproduction bezel. The bezel is not included.

Compatibility

The built-in visor above the wrap-around windshield make the one-year ’56 F-series unforgettable, and HDX instrumentation will ensure your Effie stands out in the crowd. Bolting directly to a stock or reproduction bezel (not included), this package is complete with six analog instruments and a single TFT message center. Supplied sensors and available modules allow integration with any drivetrain combination.

Available with your choice of black or silver alloy 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.

Note: Bezel not included, shown for visual/presentation purposes.
System uses OEM or reproduction style bezel.
