    94+ Gauge Cluster in 5.0? Anyone try this?

    I was just looking over my options to upgrade my gauge cluster. Did anyone ever put in a newer gauge cluster from a 94+ into their 87-93? I think that would look pretty cool, but the wiring and fitment might be a nightmare. If you have any pics they would be appreciated. Thanks, Dave
