1968/72 F100/250's with a C6 have a 75 1/2" cable: C7TZ-17260-AB.
C7TZ-17260-U ~ FTE sponsor GREEN SALES has one of these. It was used on 1971/72 F100/350's with a 4 speed, but the hookup is the same. It's 75 1/4" long.
Before going any further...I need to know the approximate length, there are literally dozens of cables to choose from.

The pre 1973 cables screw on to the speedo head.
Look for one from 1967/72. C6's used the same cable 68/72 that '67's with COM did.
Don't limit your search to trucks, a car speedo cable will also work. Same ends, same trans and speedo head connections.
Example: C3DZ-17260-F .. Cable & Housing ~ 74 9/16" long.
Fits: 1963/65 Falcon with a 4 speed / 1964/66 T-Bird with COM / 1966 T-Bird with a C6.
