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 | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | You need to use the 57 cable if it is long enough. 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.

I can get the '57 cables in various lengths off of ebay. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 158 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jan 2009 Posts: 158 | Hey Bongo...Check out Ecklers for the cable. You are going to need a longer cable. This is the one I installed in my '58 with a 700R4. 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!
