Go to the junkyard and get another, or ask on the parts board, they are a dime a dozen. Whats wrong with it?

I'll be getting a couple tomorrow. I will see what condition they are in and let you know. I can ship you a speedo for $1 plus the cost of shipping. Sound good?

I have read that sometimes if you warm old speedos up gently and keep them warm for a while it can loosen them up (not specifically Chevy truck ones I hasten to add) I think it just warms and melts any old congealed grease inside them and makes it flow around a bit. Can't hurt to leave it on top of a warm heater overnight . Disclaimer: If your speedo melts I take no responsibility!
