'57 Speedo cable to '73 transfer case #523479 04/01/2009 6:34 PM

When I bought my ride last fall it was already on a 1973 3/4 ton 4x4 chassis. There is currently no speedo cable. Will any '57 chevy speedo cable mate up with the 57 speedometer and a NP 203 transfer case? Would I use a '73 cable? I know chevys are good for interchangeable parts from various years, especially the motors. Is it the same for speedo cables and such? If it won't work, what are your suggestions? Thanks, Bongo

The connections at the trans. stayed the same but the one at the speedo went to a snap in type about 1971. They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne Super In the Gallery Forum

The length was 74" and should work great. Part #519072 ONLY $31.98 including shipping...much cheaper than the ones on Ebay. Check it out! Steve in Idaho 1958 Chevrolet Big Window Stepside
