Default What year fits a 36 dash

I’m missing the gauge cluster on my 36. What years would work in a 36 dash without modifying the dash?
Maybe 35 through to 39?
Not worried about having it perfect just operational for now.
Thanks

35-36 only if it’s a stock dash

I just looked at my dash and realized I need 2 gauge clusters. I thought it was like a 37 dash.
That’s probably going to be a lot harder to find.
I have what I think is a 36 speedometer

The '36 gauges are quite different from the '35, '35 was the last non electric fuel gauges.
As I recall the '36 Standard/DeLux gauges differ in color.
The '36 gauges come up on eBay regularly. The quality can be very poor or very good. The temp gauge is the difficult one to find.
I recently picked up a very nice red face (36 Delux) oil/fuel for $175.
If you look on eBay click on 36 Ford, then narrow it down to 36 Ford gauges.

Most folks put a set of accessory gauges for heat and oil pressure under the dash using Stewart Warner, Standard or simular gauges.
