Do they interchange as long as they are the same style? Basically, is the circuitry all the same? I am lookin for a new cluster for my 79 and i found one from a 78.

yea they should swap there's probably a difference in 2wd and 4wd because of the 4wd light. so if you have 4wd look for one out of a 4x4 or 2wd if you have 2wd.

i think nate and luv4mes clusters were swapped in an accident in the factory :lol:
As far as the 4x4 light, it should be right under the fuel gage between the OIL and GEN warning lights. I realy dont think the clusters are diferent except that one light.

79 4x4s didn't have the light. 80s did. I have two 79s and two 80s, both 80s have a light and both 79s do not. Just another one of those little quirks I guess.

A 78 guage cluster will at least be the same style as 79 or 80. 77 and older had a bit different style guage shape and texture. pre 75 might have a couple more differences but I haven't got one of them in my flock yet. As for wiring, I'm not certain but I believe the connector pinout is the same. I think you could even swap an older 77 style guage into a newer truck without rewiring, but I've never tried it.

Will the speedometer cable off a turbo 350 fit to the back of a stock luv gauge? Or will the stock speedometer cable fit to the t-350??

Now that is a toughie. I want to say yes, but I would have to see a picture cause some of those cables are square and others are trianglular.

Tried that on my first v8 luv. it worked with one tiny problem... at about 5 mph the speedo read @30 at 25-30 mph the speedo was pegged at 85.
