700R4 Speedo Cable Length?
Hey y'all! First the details - '71 C-10, 2WD long bed. 700R4. So my speedo cable took a dump yesterday and I'm looking for the proper length cable. The one currently installed is waaaay too long. Searched all through the forum but can't find the answer. Some say your stock turbo 400 cable will fit and on and on...
I thought the speedo hook up on the 700 was further back than on the 350/400. So is 70" the right number? Want to confirm that I can get in advance... TIA, Randy |

I used a 70” one that I ordered from The Truck Shop in Orange, Ca.
Pt # 2-60-04510. It cost $13.00 + tax and shipping.

So it looks like "70" is the number. Will get one today and give it a go. Thanks all for the input!

70" for a 700R4 sounds within reason. I used a 68" on my 200R4 and it fit near perfect.

Re: 700R4 Speedo Cable Length?
I have a question...
is the 700 a different cable diameter than the 350? I did the 700 swap but left my stock cable in place because it lined up perfectly.. My speedo was working then quit after a couple hundred miles, I thought broken cable but everything is good... When I hold the cable up it looks as if it's smaller than what's needed. Thoughts? MOD
