77 cluster circuit board fit 76 too?

Hey There,
I have gauge cluster that appears to be close to my original (76). The only thing I see different is the 4 wheel lock light. I need to know if it is a go or not. If no as is, what changes need to be made. My original is very rough, most mount tabs are broke, no lens, and faded dirty gauges. The replacement is a 77? k truck unit maybe. I'm not sure, info I have found is not too clear.
any help would be greatly appreciated.

So the 4X4 light is just a bulb to put in?
my K78 and later ones have a seperate plastic socket for 4X4 hole
your arrow appears to show it move spots ?
my K78 has a choke light next to the 4X4 but it's not even opened/drilled for use

I'm not sure on the bulb ,it appears that way. My truck is 2wd. I was thinking at worst, swap speedo's and be done.
Best case scenario, drop cluster in and go.

no it dosnt move
just leave the socket empty
it can be left out for a two wheel drive
just not sure if the oil pressure and temp gauges measure the same
could meter them for ohms

I have confirmed it is a 1977 K cluster. I just swapped housings and gauges, kept my 76 circuit board.
