Junkyard Run

I went to the junkyard back at home over spring break looking for window switches for my sisters taurus and decided to go and look at the trucks they had. Found an immaculate gauge cluster with tach that was only 100 miles off of what the mileage on my truck has. My truck does not have a tach so I picked it up cause I have always wanted a tach for my truck. Is this a plug and play? I have an 85 F150 with 351W. I pulled it out of a 84 Bronco with a 302. They both have all the real guages no idiot lights. I also got an immaculate litterally immaculate trim peice with woodgrain for around the gauge cluster. I have never ever ever seen one this nice. Both of them cost me a total of twenty bucks. So I guess my question is what do I need to do to get the gauge cluster to work?

Plug it in and drive it.

Simple as that.
