WTB speedo cable, cruise control to speedo - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Longhorn Man · 09-23-2005, 01:08 AM

What else is there to say... I need a short speedo cable for between the speedo head and cruise control thing on the fender. 1970 truck, screw on ends.
Price to 43228?

I know you broke yous on your trip. Can you not get a regular cable and just cut the wire inside to size. That wire is what broke isn't it?

Longhorn Man · 09-23-2005, 09:51 AM

The cable is wound wire, like a real tight coil spring, and on the ends it is shaped into square-ish fittings.
So, no...not realisticly.

Bummer. Well, good luck. If nothing else we brought this back up top.

Won't other cruise controls cables work? Of corse I am talking about the older models with the cable going to the Part on the inner fender then another cable going to the transmission. I know these were used up into the 80's I think.

I can get you a new one made if you supply me a pattern (housing and both ends). The last one I had made was around $75.

Can't you still buy these at GM if you tell them what length and what style ends?

Longhorn Man · 09-24-2005, 03:33 PM

Haven't tried the parts stores or dealer yet... Kinda figured with all the trucks getting parted out on here, some one would have this piece.

Would this work on your truck?

Longhorn Man · 09-25-2005, 01:31 PM

I'm sure it could be made to work, but it looks nothing like mine. I couldn't see the cables very well either.

86swb · 09-25-2005, 02:01 PM

Well, I figured the cable went from there to the transmission and also figured it most likely had a 350 trans in it so thought might be the same size or close. You could ask the guy how long the cable is. I know you do not need the other parts but sure he would just send the cables if you just wanted them. Just too bad yours broke. Bummer.
