My speedometer just got refurbed and is on it's way back to me. A while back on here I read a thread about speedo cable for Turbo 400 to stock '53 speedo. Someone even gave a part number. Napa I think. Naturally I didn't write it down, does anyone recall seeing a thread like that? Or have you had to buy a cable to do that kind of hook up on your truck? Thanks.

The speedometer and transmission should have standard fittings, any cable from mid '70s back should fit if the length is correct.

Thanks for the reply. Didn't know what was compatible. My frame and running gear is '78 Suburban so it should be a good starting point?

Finally got the refurbished speedo re-installed today. A little bit of difference in color match, but I expected that as both gauges were not done. Speedo looks great and works just fine. Then I was able to re-install my radio delete plate and speaker grill. It's been a while since the dash looked this complete. Now all that's left is a bit of work on the glove box liner and re-install it.
