Default Compatible gauge clusters

I need a new cluster for my 92 2.3L 5 speed. Its the one without a tach. What years would be compatible with my truck and if I can find one in that year range with a tach will it work?

Ok, is it going to be a direct swap? Just plug the connectors in and go?

How about the tach? I'd really like to have one and my factory cluster doesn't have it...

just find one with a tach and plug it in the same way you would your stocker
