Find a 99-01 F cluster. The 3 plugs are the same, but a lot of the pins need to be moved. There is a terminated wire labled cto near the brake booster marked CTO that you will use for the tach. I have the pinouts for both clusters if you need them. You can also take the clusters apart and swap out the odometers so your mileage remains accurate.

i really appreciate your help ...

hard to find the 99-01

would either work ?

The second one will work. 02+ have a digital odometer. But 200 seems pricy. If you can wait, you can probably find one for 75.

thx for the input RPM-INC ... i like the digital odometer, and really want a tach

im going to look around and see if i can get a better deal

i have never done any dash work ... is it a tough swap ?

can u talk me through it ?

thx again
