1965 C10 Speedo Cable route

[jmcap]

Hi Guys,
Putting a 'Rat' back together. The drive train is not stock: a 350 with a 700 R4 Tranny. I bought an aftermarket cable claiming to work with the 700R4 and stock dash gauges of the era. Eager to try but would like to know the original routing through the firewall/floor to the tranny. Any pics or info would be deeply appreciated.

Here is a pic of the firewall holes labeled. Straight up inside the cab through the swing pedal bracket right into the gauge connection for the speedo.

ETA; relative to the floor mat button, looks more like speedo grommet.. can't remember exact size but it was big enough for the nut to slide all the way down to the trans, after I installed it the first time

and assuming you're working on a 62, maybe clutch linkage routes differently?

left to right in my '65 4spd picture, brake cable, speedo cable, clutch rod..

hope that helps, good luck!
