Yes you can swap out the cluster.
To reset the odometer you need a Tech 2 GM pcm scan tool.
Check with your local gm service center and ask how much before you swap out the gauges.

Harofreak...
Where'* the pics of your cluster in pieces. Does it appear this can be done or do we know for sure the vehicle mileage is in part of the cluster and it needs to be reprogrammed?

This is the description of the odometer. It indicates that it is part of the IPC, and works directly with signals from the PCM, so the concerns of compatibility seem well founded.
Description and Operation
ODOMETER
The IPC contains a season odometer and a trip odometer. Press the TRIP RESET switch in order to reset the trip odometer. The IPC displays the vehicle mileage and trip mileage as determined by the IPC. The IPC calculates the mileage based on the class 2 vehicle speed message from the PCM. The odometer will display 'error' if an internal IPC memory failure is detected.

well i was thinking, there isnt really a reason i would need to swap out the odometer. I will just take the new gauge cluster face replace it with the one i am using now. So hopefully its not hard to swap clusters..

I tested this when I swapped out the odometer modules.
