My dad's 71 K10 is leaking T-case oil real bad from the speedo sender. Anyone have an exploded view and know of a place to get the seals for it? Its drivin me nuts! Thanks guys

Look at this, looks like just an o ring on the speedo cable. Google search is a wonderful thing.

The one I have looks a lot different than that. It's a big aluminum blocky looking thing that looks like it would have a couple different seals in it. I'll try to take a pic of it tomorrow morning.

Sounds like you have an adapter (for correcting speedo reading due to re-gearing).

Now that's what I was thinking by the look of it, kind of offset too like it would be geared. This thing has had tires very close to stock when my dad got it 30+ years ago (2nd owner) and he has put 31's on it since, but I know he never had an adapter installed. Should I just get a new one if that's the case? Who sells a good adapter?
