Speedo Problem
The speedo on my 69 C10 P/U is apparently off. It reads 70 mph
when I'm doing about 50-55 mph. One time I noticed it was reading 15 mph when I was stopped at a red light! Should I assume that the speedo is bad or could this be a cable problem or a speedo gear problem? Thanks! Jim M.

If the tire size was changed that would throw it off, but I don't know how much though.
Mine doesn't move until I get to 10 or 15 mph, but its dead on accurate after that. |

I would start with the speedo head, a bum cable or incorrect gears wouldn't give you a reading while sittin still.
