That's kind of a personal question isn't it?

I just finished swapping a T-5 into my 54 F100 w/272 also and am wondering what speedo cable you used to mate the original gauge cluster to the T-5. I'm also from SC, northwest corner.
Thanks, Ken

I just added some shifter/seat pictures to the album, all G rated . I am going down to the Parks auto parts in Summerville SC tomorrow to look for a speedo cable to make work. They still look through the books and not just the computer, so I am optimistic. If/when I do find one I will post it here also.
