Default Swapping cluster

Can you swap a 01 dash cluster/speedometer board with an 04. I want to put my Special edition cluster from my pace car in my Supercharged.

I was hoping to avoid that. I dont want to chance screwing any thing up. What is the chance of screwing things up? Any fastened parts I should worry about.

I thought the overlay was all one piece, having the info for all the guages in the cluster, on the same overlay. Wouldn't the supercharger's boost guage then be wrongly re-labelled as a "VOLTS" guage?

I just did some looking on Speed Hut. I was wrong. The overlays are not all one big piece. It's actually 3 pieces. The Speedo, the Tach, and the four small guages on the left side.

Wonder if speed hut would add "Intimidator" to the speedo overlay? Something the Dale Sr fans would like.
