The other day I learned that the speedo cable in the '37 doesn't "like" the period correct 1937 gauge I am retro fitting into it and will not connect to it... (the present cable was attached to some new after market gauges which came with the truck but have now been removed)
After a look at an old broken metal wrapped speedo cable I have here I see that the end connecting to the speedo itself has to have a "large square end" on it (the terminology used in the Jim Carter's catologue) which looks to be about a 1/4" or 3/8" square brass tube piece on the end of the speedo cable...
I see from JC's catologue that the same cable was used 1937-72 BUT that the newer versions don't have the "large square end" on them...
Does anyone know if one of these newer cables would work and if the square end connector can be added in some way? Is there an adaptor available? Was the large square end used in any newer years more readily available from a FLAPS store?
Thanks in advance for your help...
