Speedometer Problem

Hey yall, i just bought a 1973 ford f100 4x4, over here we must have an inspection sticker and the truck has a problem. The speedometer doesn't work, when your going slow and bump the gas it will bump up a little. But regular driving it doesn't work. What should I do?

^^^^ I agree, most cases it's just the cable. Take the cable off and inspect the inner cable. You can get replacements at almost all parts stores. Just remember if and when you replace it, lube the cable up really well.

Alright then, I'm not sure if the oil pressure gauge works, it stays at 10. The horn doesn't work as well. Does the horn have a fuse that goes to it in the fuse box, I'm pretty sure a couple fuses are bad.
