1961/66 F100/1100 Round Speedometer / 1966/74 Bronco

Welcome to FTE

C1TZ17255E .. Speedometer-Round Head

Fits: 1961/64 F100/1100 Standard/Custom Cabs / 1965/66 F100/1100 Standard Cab / 1965/66 F100/250 4WD Standard/Custom Cab / 1966/74 Bronco.

MILLER OBSOLETE PARTS in Binghamton NY has ONE = 800-546-7278.

JST AUTOMOTIVE in Lebanon TN has ONE = 615-443-3086.

DENNIS CARPENTER OBSOLETE PARTS in Concord NC has ONE = 704-786-8139.

ALCALDE AUTO PARTS in San Juan Puerto Rico has ONE = 787-753-1845.

BOB ALLEN FORD in Overland Park KS has ONE: 800-676-0675 / This dealer thinks their obsolete parts are GOLD. Try them last.

btw: What is wrong with your old speedo? If it does not work, that could be caused by a stripped speedometer gear in the transmission, or a broken cable.

There are two different gears. One on the output shaft (DRIVE gear), one on the end of the cable (DRIVEN gear).

The usual gear that strips is the plastic DRIVEN gear. Still available from Ford...there are 6 different tooth counts...the most expensive gear is $3.47.

Inside the speedometer cable's housing is a woven steel core...it could have snapped in two.

You can buy a replacement speedo core from a parts store, cut it to fit, install in the housing.

Make sure to lube it with either graphite or white lithium grease (light coat).

The reason the core snaps...is...it dries out, then binds up in the housing.
