Re: Speedo Cable

Just go to a good auto parts store and browse the catalog. Figure out what ends you have and what length you have and go from there.

Re: Speedo Cable

Re: Speedo Cable

Take it out and measure it, there are many sizes available at parts stores, vendors here or ebay. But ya gotta know what you have now, there were several sizes used in our trucks.
