transmission swap for hot rod
« on: June 24, 2008, 10:31:35 pm »
hey i have a 1954 international r110 pickup body sitting on a 81 chevy frame with a 350.

i am planning on putting in a 5 speed tranny in but they have the electric speed sensor

does anyone know where i can find a converter to make it have a cable drive to my speedometer?

Are you talking about a NV4500 5 speed?  You should be able to get the company you are getting it from to make it mechanical.  Here is one place:
