What year is the truck? Your profile says 1964. If that's correct, the original cable was 63 inches long. How much longer do you need?

1968/72 F100/250's with a C6 have a 75 1/2" cable: C7TZ-17260-AB.

C7TZ-17260-U ~ FTE sponsor GREEN SALES has one of these. It was used on 1971/72 F100/350's with a 4 speed, but the hookup is the same. It's 75 1/4" long.

Before going any further...I need to know the approximate length, there are literally dozens of cables to choose from.

I would say that i need somewhere around the 75" or so. It almost reaches to connect at both ends. I took the cable from the '73 doner truck, but the head end of it is very different on the newer generation. I was thinking that I might need to have one made.

1973 and later: The cable connects to the speedo head with a clip.

The pre 1973 cables screw on to the speedo head.

Look for one from 1967/72. C6's used the same cable 68/72 that '67's with COM did.

Don't limit your search to trucks, a car speedo cable will also work. Same ends, same trans and speedo head connections.

Example: C3DZ-17260-F .. Cable & Housing ~ 74 9/16" long.

Fits: 1963/65 Falcon with a 4 speed / 1964/66 T-Bird with COM / 1966 T-Bird with a C6.
