Well the newest one you could get would be for a 1999 F-800.
The cluster is basicly identicle to our trucks but newer. Even the Printed circut is the same on most models. Starts with a E1TF part number.
However the speedometer head in the 1999 cluster is electronic. Therfore, you would have to swap out your old speedometer head, or find a way to convert your truck to the electronic one.
I was thinking about posting such a question in the 1987-96 forum and see what they would think about this possible conversion.
EDIT:
Picture of the 1981 to 1986 F-series pickup cluster. 1980 almost identical.
Picture of the circa 1994 to 1999 F-800 cluster.
Notice the simularities and the differences? Notice the electronic speedometer in the F-800 cluster.
