Instrument cluster
Hey guys, been reading up on swapping out my cluster for some time now. My truck is a 77 F150 with gauges and the wonderful brittle back and a chewed up circuit board. After doing much reading on here, I'm left with conflicting views on this swap. In some threads I read only clusters up to '86 would work (speaking of Econoline clusters), but in other threads I read Econoline clusters up to '91 would work if I switch over my circuit board.
I found a cluster on eBay from a '91 E-150. Great shape with an orange circuit board and new plastic backing piece.
My question is will this drop in to my truck or not? I believe that it should, but if someone could confirm this that would be great.

In some threads I read only Econoline clusters 1980/86 (with WARNING LAMPS) would work, but in other threads I read Econoline clusters 1980/91 (with GAUGES) would work if I switch over my circuit board.
You do not have to change the printed circuit board, it's the same 1976/91 with GAUGES.

.1975/79 F100/350, 1975/80 Econoline, 1978/79 Bronco came with cluster backs made of a composition material that can TURN TO DUST before your very eyes!
1981: FoMoCo came out with hard plastic cluster backs for Econolines. These were also the 'service part replacements' for the POS composition cluster backs.
