While the guage panel will bolt right in and the plug will line up, do not be tempted to do it...trust me, it'll screw up your guages and make you cry.
Trust me. |

I mean they look like they will swap no problem, but in reality, you need to follow the steps in the GMC Paul link.
I mean don't just remove the old and install the new..the wires that need relocated will fry your fuel guage and some other interesting things with your dash lights. My buddy laughed as my fuel guage needle spun around a few times with smoke coming out of it, and the lights blinking all funny bout made him pee himself he was laughing so hard. Me...I was ready to cry. |

in hind sight, it was kinda funny, but the only thing I could think of...besides "my truck is gonna blow up...was kicking his ass into next week.
