Indicator needles

[3.0ranger1227]

Quick question does anyone know if all ford indicator needles are the same other than the color? I had a thought the other day while driving my parent's '02 T-Bird - Swap to the white face from a newer ranger and put the T-bird Teal w/ brushed center indicator needles on so that my cluster looked like the T-bird one. Could it work?

Obviously not taking the needles from my parent's car lol.

Any thoughts?

I am not positive but I think you can, as long as they are about the same length, weight and and pin size so that your reading is accurate (tach, speedo needles are counter weighted) I put white face gauges on and broke a needle so I took the needle off of my S-10 and it fit perfectly on my rangers speedometer.
