Speedometer Cable - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jbgroby · 04-03-2016, 08:45 AM

I'll be replacing my speedometer cable this week - as I ran over it backing out of the garage. DUH, I forgot it was hanging down - no good deed goes un punished......

This is one that is offered,

jbgroby · 04-03-2016, 09:36 AM

I forgot to add - are these generic or are they a direct replacement.

Is your truck a 3spd or 4spd?

jbgroby · 04-03-2016, 10:10 AM

4 speed hydra-matic

**aerotruk63** · 04-03-2016, 10:17 AM

I looked at the 3spd and 4spd cable listing in the parts book. They give me the same cable for both applications. The code your looking for is CC17. Had many applications over the years, both car and truck. 58 5/8" cable length.
The Classic Parts cable says it's 72".
Even though you ran over your original can you still measure to find the length assuming it is original?

If you Ebay search CC17

68 5/8" for the Hydromatic.
CC1 a a cable number.
So Classic Industries would be a little long but not the end of the world.

**aerotruk63** · 04-03-2016, 10:26 AM

One matching the code so far.

The one from Fusick looks identical.I'll call and order that one,

**aerotruk63** · 04-03-2016, 12:31 PM

Make sure when ordering that it is the right length.

jbgroby · 04-03-2016, 09:59 PM

I may have to live with a longer one as long as it works but I'll measure mine.

jbgroby · 04-04-2016, 11:08 AM

I ordered one from classic, Thanks for all your help in cross refer. I'd be lost..

LostMy65 · 10-30-2017, 07:54 PM
