I think the '91 has a mechanical drive and the '93 has an electronic one. Look underneath your truck at the end of the transmission to find a cable attached to the side (if it's mechanical). I don't know the fix to adapt mechanical to electronic. There are other things you would need to do in order to get all the things on the cluster to work correctly--the tach needs to have an adapter and possibly the oil sending unit.

should be a drop-in, just change out the oil pressure switch on the passenger side of the engine block with an SR5 gauge pressure sender, you can buy them at most parts stores.

Read this thread - https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f115/doing-sr-5-gauge-cluster-swap-how-pictures-51800/

It talks about a swap from the previous generation, then I have pics from my '91 swap at the end. If it is a mechanical speedo, just get an oil sending unit to replace the oil pressure switch, and you are good to go. I also described how to swap odometers if you want to keep your mileage correct.
Good luck
