I pulled the speedometer in my truck today because the needle was missing and I wanted to see if the cable worked. The speedometer was stamped from the factory May 7, 1954 on the back.

I went for a drive without the speedometer and the cable did not move / rotate. I presume it is broken somewhere along the line. Does one purchase a new speedometer cable with the sheathing or can the interior cable simply be replaced?

I did not pull the cable at the transmission yet, frankly because I thought transmission fluid might leak.

I need to figure out if I can just add a needle once I fix the cable.
