Correct Speedometer Cable?
So, I went to hook up my speedo cable that I bought awhile back and found that it's too short. I may have ordered one that went to my tranny instead of my divorced transfer case. In any case, I was looking a NPD for the correct cable and I am assuming it's the one that is 118" long. The same part number is listed for 3 different trucks. Just checking before I order something. Thanks.

The same thing happened to me on my 77 F150 2wd restoration, only the other way around. I ordered the long one by accident from NPD and I ended up returning 6 months later for the correct one.

Thanks Bill. I'll get the 118" one and see if it works. I'll have to measure the one I have right now that's too short to see how long it is to see if anyone wants it. Way to late to send it back since I've had it for so long.

You should try to return it, I returned my speedometer cable (too long) to NPD more than 6 months after I had purchased it w/o any problem.
