Re: odometer issue
Check our For Sale section. You should find a decently priced used one--likely at a much lower price than a repair shop (you might find) would charge for repairing yours.

Re: odometer issue
Not sure if this is the exact same issue you were having, but on my 63, the speedo needle started bouncing on me with a range of about 10 mph and the odometer stopped spinning. I replaced the speedo cable, and still had the same problem. Ended up pulling the speedo and odo out and noticed that the plastic gears on the inside were slightly chewed up. My suspicion was that the odometer had stopped spinning causing the speedo to bounce back and forth and not hold constant. I set the odo at a random number and watched it spin till it got to a certain point and stopped spinning. I couldn't figure out why it stopped spinning so I just removed it. It does not have the original engine, so it didn't bother me to not have the odometer in the truck.
Sorry I didn't think to take pictures of it when I took it apart, and the truck is at home while I'm in college so I won't be able to get any pictures of it.
