Default 55/56 dash gage cluster questions

I have a 55 Ford and like the 56 gage cluster much better than the 55 . I know the complete 56 dash will swap into my 55 Ford but I want to know if anyone has tried to take the 56 gage cluster and MAKE it fit into the 55 dash . I know that it's a 12v in the 56 and mine has already been converted to 12v . I will be rewiring my 55 Ford this winter or spring and will remove the dash to make the wiring easier .
Has anyone out there ever MADE the 56 gage cluster fit into a 55 dash ? I am wondering if it can be done without major fab work . I understand that there will be some cutting and welding but how much work would it be .
I am on disability and money is very tight so I need to find all the parts very cheap or by trading .
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated !

Jim
