retro fit clocks?

Seen these and fancy them in my truck -

eBay Motors: FORD F150/F250 GAUGE/TACH CLUSTER 1981,1982,1983,1984 (item 130283625119 end time Jan-31-09 20:31:58 PST)

BUT the existing ones only have Speedometer, Fuel and Water/Engine temp. No trip, Revs, Oil or Charge (only idiot lights for oil and battery). The seller is sure that its a plug and play thing, can someone confirm this, and will I be able to change the Auto trans gear order over (mine is a 3.8 w/ C5 and from what I remember likely to be different if the clocks have come from a V8).

Not plug and play if you have idiot lights. Only trucks that have Oil, Temp and Amp guages are P&P. Too bad, price looks right. You could add missing circuitry but that could get complicated. Do a search.

MPH was another selling point for me.KMH is irritating, we don't use it over here.
