66 speedometer part number.
This is probably a Number Dummy question... I need to replace the sweep speedometer on my '66 custom cab. The p/n on the one I have is C5TF-17265, but when searching it seems it should be C5TZ-17255. The question is.. which part number is correct and where may one be found?

There are no actual Ford part numbers marked on any parts after 1956, ID numbers only (if applicable).
C5TZ17255 is an in-complete part number, its suffix is missing.
Here's the correct info: C5TF-17265-A = C5TZ17255A .. Sweep Speedometer Assy / Obsolete
Fits: 1965/66 F100/250 2WD Custom Cabs.
I found two of these NOS...sent you an email with the info / No Ford Dealer or other obsolete parts vendor has any.
If I typed the info here, someone might beat you to them.

IsoGrifo: If a part number is in-complete, no one will show it in stock, even if it's still available from Ford...and every FoMoCo dealer/obsolete parts vendor on the planet has it.
ID engineering numbers cannot be used to find diddly-squat when typed into parts locator systems.

Don: I wasn't saying that he has a custom cab therefore it needs to be a sweep, The OP posted that it's a 66 custom cab with a sweep speedo.
Bill: ya... maybe I should start buyin the books...

ND, I got your email... THANKS. But before I call, I might as well ask you for the part number of the temperature gauge too... and see if I can get that from them too.
I'm not sure how the PO could have screwed these gauges up, but it sure looks like they were doing some experimenting

C5TF-17265 is the FoMoCo ID engineering number, it is not a Ford part number. This ID number's suffix is missing.
There are no actual Ford part numbers marked on any parts after 1956, ID numbers only (if applicable).
C5TZ17255 is an in-complete part number, its suffix is missing.
Here's the correct info: C5TF-17265-A = C5TZ17255A .. Sweep Speedometer Assy / Obsolete

I guess back in the mid-60s, you could special order just about any combo you wanted. Try doing that today. My 65’ CC was ordered with a ‘four gauge’ speedo cluster, only because the original owner didn’t like the look of the new plastic sweep speedo and gauge package. He also didn’t like the idea of drilling holes in the dash to install the aftermarket gauge look in the old style dash. I had to agree with him back when he ordered the truck new. I like the old style round cluster. To each their own I guess.
