I have two parts manuals, 1929 to 1942 and 1929 to 1949. I can't seem to find the speedometers in eather one of them. Was this a item not sold? or am I just missing them? I was trying to help out a fellow '37 owner with his speedometer problem.

Thanks for any help, Joe

My parts books cover 39-62. Speedos are listed in the electrical section. Group 8 in GMC, but Chev uses different group numbers.

I cannot find the speedometer listed in this 1929-1957 Master Parts Book. Maybe someone else will see if they can find speedometers (the alphabetical index is linked at the bottom of the illustration page).

Thanks for looking 3B, but the older American parts books I have go from 4.337 to 4.342. I keep looking, Joe

There is something very different about this category, that is the speedometer. The online manual shows drive gears, adapters for different ratios and even the cable but there is nothing on the speedometer. Even the illustrations of the dash detail all the gauges and the bezels and glass but nothing on the actual speedometer.

Its very strange, all the other gauges are shown, must have been a legal issue or something. Joe
