sr5 gauge cluster
Quick question. Will an sr5 cluster from an 83 physically fit and will it work in an 80 without changing the complete dash? Got a hell of a deal on the cluster and the under dash gauges if so!! Thanks guys n gals!!

Physically, they're exactly the same, same fit, dimensions, and screw holes.
Electronically, I think earlier units came with a round plug, and by 83 the system had changed to three smaller rectangular plugs.

Exactly! I think Big Mike over at Marlin Crawler calls it the F-14 fighter jet cluster or something like that.
Very round, and having the tach in the middle is cool.

I'm thinking the backlights for the speedo.
Given the angle of the top of the unit in your hands and the proximity for the cable input, I can't imagine an early SR5 having any electronics inside the speedometer housing other than a lamp.

If we have a parts resource thread, it might be wise to add their site to that list instead of on another thread though.

In the meantime, to get more attention, rather than burying your request in a thread someone else started, you could start your own thread and have a request in the title for someone with an 81 FSM to help you.
I've scanned and posted pages from my 83 FSM for people with the same year truck who don't have a FSM. But if I had a 81 FSM, I wouldn't think to check this thread...
Good luck!
