Cluster swap

Hi you guys im new to the site and i have a 86 custom deluxe swb. it was a v6 auto to start with then was turned into a 5 speed, and now i own it and has put a 1969 327 v8 and a turbo 400 transmission. The truck came with the light up gauges, and I have a cluster with the manual gauges from a 82 swb and i was wondering if it was a straight swap or if i will have to do some wiring to make it work

Re: Cluster swap

From what Ive read you have to re-pin the cluster conecter plug and install sending units.
