The later ones have more lights, I don't think they made a tach cluster for the earlier trucks anyway.

The earlier truck's dash panel had cutouts for something like four idiot lights (emiss, 4x4, brake and something else) the later trucks had one big cutout for in addition to others a check engine light.

Tach clusters also replaced two gauges with idiot lights to make room for the tach.
