Default 98 dash into a 97

How hard would this be to do ??

I kinda like the looks of the 98+ dashes and was thinking about making a swap.

About the same as pulling and replacing a dash in a 97 truck me thinks.
But the cluster is different. To be honest, I wouldn't do it just for looks, but I'm also a lazy-***.

didn't dodge go to a electric odometer in 98? I think it'd take some rigging to do so.

Swap out the dash, the interior wiring harness, PCM, and probably engine harness. May have to repin a sensor or two, because of the way things changed in 98. Add in the CTM (part of dash harness). Doable, with a donor vehicle.....
