I swapped mine in my 85 T/A. The guage clusters are completly different. You need to rewire the cluster so the wires go to the correct connection. You will need a buffer box and a electric VSS.
I used a Dakota Digital box to correct the signal so it didn't matter what gears I had in the tranny or on the VSS.
