speedometer setup?

HEY everyone, ok so heres what in dealing with: my 78 bronco on a 94 f350 frame, with the 7.3 powerstroke diesel in it, and a 5 speed standard behind it. im trying to hook up gauges now and trying to figur out the best way to hook u the speedo. i would like to use the factory cable driven one thats in the bronco, but i understand that might not be practical. let me know what you think, im going to post in the 7.3 forum as well. thanks again

steve

you need to be running the F350 gauge cluster because that 5 speed doesnt use a cable for the speedo.

well actually its driven from the sensor located on the rear differential on that year truck.

honestly you should figure on fashioning most all of the gauge cluster into the bronco dash keeping all the wiring as it was when it was the truck
