As highboy said it's very easy. If you look at the FAQ thread at the top of the page you'll find good information on calculating what gear you will need.

The plastic DRIVEN gear, on the end of the speedometer cable, come with 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, and 21 teeth.

The same gears have been used since 1960, and are available from Ford.

Prices range from $2.00 to $3.50 each.

Some F100/350's with a manual transmission used fiber or iron DRIVEN gears. These are obsolete, and can be tough to find.
