64 f100 Speedometer
Hello, i was wondering if anybody knew what to do/how to fix my speedometer. It says i am going 30 when i am really going 40, basicly 10 under what im really going. Does anyone know how to fix this, or a part i need to get or something?
Thanks

tx64 Welcome to FTE 
Your problem sounds like the rear gear has been changed and now the measuring tool, the speedo is fooled. We have no way to know for sure.
I used to collect speedo gears from off the ground when I went yarding. My first guess is that the rear has changed by .50 like 3.00 to 3.50.

The last time I changed a gear in one of my trucks, I went to the local dealer parts guy, old time guy that knows Fords, gave him the rear gear ratio and the tire size and he gave me a gear. Checked out speed with police radar, working good.
