I thought this was the correct part too until I saw the picture.
The end is not correct.
The speedometer has a vacuum device on it that adjusts the speed based on hi/low on the rear end.
And the cable I'm replacing isn't 70inch.
I found this after I posted and ordered it to see if it will work. The connectors appear correct.

Where in the Ford truck parts catalog did you find a pic of the original cable?

How long do you think Carpenter's cable is?
