Speedo change out

Guys I am still working thru issues to fix for registration, one thing I am struggle to do is buy a speedo cable (correct one)as I do not know what I need. I removed current speedo which is about 2.4 Mtrs long from 68/69 f350 with a 351 Cleveland motor. Any help is appreciated to confirm what one I need.

I have confirm speedo mechanism still works it's the cable that is damaged.

Cheers

The big difference is between AUTOMATIC and Stick shift. The way it attaches to the transmission. Automatic screws on, the stick shift slides in and gets held by a clamp with 1/4" bolt.

All my automatics are slide in with the clamp holding them....

An F350 with a Cleveland engine? Odd combination.... Are you sure it's a Cleveland? Not a 400 or 351 Modified? Edit: I see you're in OZ, that explains it. They used them in everything down under!

If the housing is not damaged, you can buy just the cable, cut to length and crimp on one end. Not sure whats available in Australia.
