If the odometer is working correctly (drive a mile it adds a mile) than everything from the trans to the speedometer head is working as it should and your issue is in the head.

What year truck are you wotking on?

Is the truck drivable? If so hook it up and find a measured mile marker somewhere and see if the odometer is reading correctly. If it is than you know you have the correct driven gear and everything from the trans to the speedometer head is good.
