41chevy Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Might be easiest to buy a universal cable and cut and crimp the drive end on, assuming the housing is o.k.

Quickfarms Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Once you determine the length and end fitting style you can get a speedometer cable made any length or just order a universal one Do an internet search and a lot will come up Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/57719-speedometer-cable-for-a-47-type-45/#findComment-425576 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Years ago, there was a lot of interchangeability with parts. Not like the parts disaster these days. If you would like a complete cable assembly, it is an AC CC-3 approx 61" long. Here is a link to show an example. You may be able to scout around and find a better price. I needed a complete cable for an E and called a Ford supplier for a 1934 Ford and the cable assembly fit perfectly. Scroll over the picture and you can compare the fittings at the end. https://autopartsobsolete.com/1934-35-36-37-40-41-willys-lincoln-ford-truck-speedometer-cable-CC-3-ac-delco.html There is a 71" long cable available also. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

Engine 165 Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Thank you j Hancock I'll search around and see what I can find I am hoping to go with nos and not have to do a newer universal one .
