KS 100'' Speedometer Cable & Housing F/S - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Ironhorse** · 01-09-2013, 01:06 PM

Brand new cable in housing, threaded knob at transmission end, push-in/clip styled at the speedometer end. Still dry, never been lubed. Bought for my '71 4x4 and forgot I needed threaded knob at both ends.

$20 plus shipping, can ship in a bubble pack so shouldn't be much to ship. Money order only, no Paypal.

dang what is the total linth of this?

**Ironhorse** · 01-09-2013, 05:24 PM

Total length of the cable is 100 inches as title says. Used on 4x4 trucks because the speedo take off is from the transfer case which is farther back when mounted to the transmission. Will also work with 2 wheel drive trucks if a differant routing is needed. Bought the same length cable for my '71 4x4 except it has threaded knob at both ends. $20 plus shipping, money order only, no Paypal.

Ironhorse, where did u get the cables from? I may be needing one for my 71.

Thanks
Scott

**Ironhorse** · 01-09-2013, 07:31 PM

Scott, got it from my local parts house, he ordered it in and got here within couple days. Are you needing a new one or just one to get you going? I have a couple used ones in the parts stash, various lengths.

Interested in this if it will work on a '78 (I think it will)..... shipping to 47396, THANKS!

**ScottH** · 01-09-2013, 07:34 PM

Doesnt have to be new, the one I have isnt long enough for the trans in the truck (Richmond 4 speed), probably need about another 6". Its a standard 2wd speedo cable.

**Ironhorse** · 01-09-2013, 08:33 PM

1970SWB, I would think that the cable will work as that year I'm pretty sure uses the knurled knob at the transmission end and the push in/clip styled speedometer end. Can get an actual quote tomorrow and let you know.

Scott, any idea how long the cable you have now may be? If not, I can measure the ones I have and give you the lengths and see if any will work for you.

1970SWB, Looks like shipping to your zip is $5.50 Priority or $ 5.45 Parcel Post. Had to put the cable in a small box as didn't like the tight curl needed to put it in a bubble envelope. Let's call it $25 even for the cable and shipping total to your door. That makes the cable $19.50 instead of the $20, LOL. If that works for you send me a PM for payment info.

Scott, will have some cable lengths for you later this evening.
