Speedometer gear and cable

Post by jdaniels12260 »

I bought a 70 w200 powerwagon a couple of weeks ago and finally got time to see what was wrong with the speedometer.
Turns out the truck is missing both the cable and gear in the transfer case. Where can I buy these two things?

speedo cable goes to transfer case not the trans. So it is longer.

See this one on eBay, and message the guy (belair2door) for a speedometer cable for your truck (106" IIRC)
http://www.ebay.com/itm/63-64-65-66-67- ... 2f&vxp=mtr

He made me one early this year (or late last year?), works great! May have been 100" (?), but worked just fine with extra to spare on my '71 W200.
Went from dash (w/ small nut) to transfer case (large nut) with no issue.

The gear on my Tfr Case was metal and not at all like the transmission speedo pinion gears, so you may have to look hard for one of these.

If the cable is listed for a D Series truck, it may not be of sufficient length
to fit. :2cents :study

Should add that the cable belair2door made is brand new and included the cable itself and the cable housing, ready to install, for $30. I gave him the application, and he advertised an identical version on eBay for a while, so he'll know what you need if you contact him.

Here is the current eBay listing for the part I used with great success - still works great!
