Speedometer cable too short

I recently converted my 66 f-100 LWB from a 3 speed to a C-6 and the Speedometer cable is about 6-8 inches to short.
Question; If I need a longer cable are they available? If so where?
Need help in Florida

Are you sure that the cable isn't tied up in a fashion that, it could be moved to fit. I don't recall changing mine when doing the exact swap.
