Default Fuel tank sender

Can a 1956 Ford 12v original fuel tank sender be made to work in a 1948 Ford with 6 volts?

No.
I don't think so as the gauge and the sending unit have to operate on the same principles of operation and voltage. Give these folks a call to find out for sure. First review this thread.

Not sure but the '56 Ford sender may have a different bolt pattern than the '48.

TJ - just get out the torch and weld it on. It'll really impress the neighbors.
