Question I need a 78" speedo cable

I need a speedometer cable that is roughly 78" long. I know Lokar has one but I don't want to pay $65 for it. Does anyone have any ideas on a stock cable that might work?

Any parts store can get them in various lengths. About $15. They are plastic & a little hard to handle. The metal ones like original are available from specialty suppliers.

I have a stock one that is about 63" long that I am going to sell. This was off of a 72 short wheel base 2 WD.

Thanks Wrenchbender, it was $16 and solved my problem.
