It can be made to physically fit, but part of the firewall in your 91 will have to be replaced, i think it is the area where the steering goes through.

no clue on wiring

Are you talking about the gauges or the entire dash from end to end? If the 95 gauge set includes a tach you probably will have to have a V8 tach but not positive on that because the signal comes from the computer. Also the gauge cluster is all electric where the 91 still has the speedo cable.

Wink

Sounds like you are trying to gain a tach?? I'm not sure IF '87-'91 had a tach option or not?? you should try & find a cluster somewhere in those years with the same # of cylinders as what you have.
If you DO NOT have a diesel you CANNOT use a tach from a DIESEL application.

The 87-91's that I ever saw all had a tach on them. My Bronco, XLT and XLT Lariets.

my dash is fine I just wanted to but a newer one in. I have a 91 f150 and just got a 95 for parts and wanted to swap the dash out cause the 95 looks better.

Everyone has different tastes but my preference is the 60's and 70's dash, and the 87-91 dash.

Just for info. I was at one of the local yards looking for a tach cluster for my '96. I came across countless truck from that range of years with tach's in them.
