Gauge Cluster Interchangeability?

Anyone know what other instrument clusters are interchangeable with an 02 or I guess 99-02 F body cluster? I'm guessing that the plug and pinout are probably the same for most same year cars or at least thats what I am hoping. Everything is pinned/wired for a 02 Fbody cluster but the cluster is HUGE and if I can avoid cutting the heck out of my inner dash etc. I would love to run something smaller. I know the GTO cluster is much smaller and fits perfect but I believe it has a different pinout and/or reads differently.

Any help, suggestions or direction you may be able to give would be huge! Not too worried about tach signal and speedo calibration since that can be tweaked....

Thanks in advance!

Thank you. Looking for a smaller cluster that will have smae plug or at least be able to use the same signals as what is in the Fbody cluster pigtail. I dont mind having to re-pin it just need to be sure I can make it read accurately for my application. I'm thinking the LS1 GTO cluster would be perfect. I assume it has the same wires just in different locations perhaps. The cluster itself would be ideal as far as size.

Anyone have the cluster plug pinout/diagram for both an 02 fbody and an LS1 GTO by chance? I think from there I can go forward and see whether I can make it work.

Thanks!
