Speedometer cable question.

Seeing windows 10 trashed my ford manual, I have a question on replacing the speedometer cable. Is this speedometer a cable drive speedo? If I remember from the old days, disconnect the cable from the speedo and trans and replace the broken cable. If that does not work, pull the drive out of the tranny to see if it is broken. After that, punt....thanks...

The speedo was working when I brought the truck home back in March.

Yes Bumps have cable driven speedos. Try and remove the cable from the tranny and see if just the end broke off, also try and turn cable by hand.
