Hello all. Does anyone know if GM produced a Km/h speedometer for a 1972 Chevy truck? I have searched the internet and haven't found any for sale. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've spoken with my father in law who was a mechanic in canada here for over 30 years and said that all vehicals were mph and you bought stickers to put on your speedo plastic at there appropriate places, I tend to agree with him but we have all been wrong before,(well i have just once)hope that helps. grin

You can get an other speedo gear to make it a kmh speedo. That`s what we have to do here in Germany to pass the ispection. Some companies are specialized in this kind of work over here.

Thanks for the replies! That sucks I was really hoping there was a factory one made. frown I had a 65 convertable VW bug that I put a KM speedo into. It was cool. I had a 1981 K5 Blazer that had a broken speedo. So basically with either car I never really knew how fast I was going but here is my theory. Without a speedo to look at you get a better feel for your speed in relation to traffic. I have no speeding tickets either. I think the same of tachometer shift lights. If you need a shift light to tell you when to shift then maybe you need to buy a car with an automatic. Or just listen to your engine better.
Anyway I appreciate the help! cool
