I gotta replace and repair the Speedo in my '68 C/10 Stepside. Won't go above 35 MPH indicated, regardless of actual speed. Using GPS now, but the small numbers are hard to see in afternoon glare. My Magellen is sitting on top of the pulled-out ashtray, top taped to the Radio Delete Plate, so it's an off-center sight picture too.
I thought I had an extra Dash w/gauges, but I only found the Bezel and no gauges. So, I will have to pull the Speedo out of my dormant '67 K/10 Suburban project, install that temporarily in the Stepside -- so I still have a running back-up rig -- and send on the '68's Speedo to PJ Moreland, who kindly offered to recalibrate it for me.
Also the Battery went flat. Two years old, not enough regular use.
