Will a speedometer cable for an 83 Chevy pickup fit onto the speedometer of a 79 Chevy pickup?
It's a long story. I have a Chevy 1979 ½ ton four wheel drive that was originally built with a manual transmission. Last year someone converted it to an automatic transmission, and they put in a turbo 400 transmission and transfer case out of a GMC 1983 3/4 ton. They also put a 3" body lift on the truck. Now the original speedometer cable is just barely long enough, and it is almost kinked where it attaches to the transmission.
Recently the speedometer cable is making a loud noise like they do when they are worn out and so I'm going to replace it. If I buy a cable made for an 83 will it be long enough and will it attach okay to the speedometer?
