Speedometer Cable assembly 1970 F350
I have a 1970 F350 that needs a new speedometer cable assembly. The cable snapped in two locations and can't get it out.
The existing cable housing is about 64" long. the truck has a new process tranny and has a green speedometer gear on the the tranny end. the cable broke off as it came out of the gear and am trying to get the remanents out to reuse. But will need one of these as well if I am not successful. Anybody know where I could find one?
Thanks

Inside the speedo cable housing is a woven steel core that's supposed to be lubed every so often, but most people are unaware.
The lube dries out, the woven steel core binds up inside the housing and snaps.
Autoparts stores sell a 'universal' woven steel core kit. Cut to length, coat w/a fine film of graphite, install in housing.
The alternative is buying an obsolete speedometer cable assy from one of the following sources, for lawd only knows how much.
