speedometer cable

[SRDUMBYE]

hi guys, i'm having some troubles making all my gauges fully operable. Rigth now all i need is finish a pipe bifurcation for the oil presure, and my speedometer cable. The question is: is ther any way to make it, if i have both ending points but the plastic tube covering the steel cable is burned? It was burned during a exaust pipe repaire. And i im looking for a way to do it since i've been looking for it and seems that it is no longer aviable in my city, nor mexico neither, at least not new

Thanks for the answers

SRDUMBYE,
You should be able to find the cable in a junkyard. If not both of these guys have a new ones for your truck for about $30.00 U.S.
What year truck and what transmission?

the outer plastic being burned or melted won't hurt anythign. they do sell them on ebay also.

man! i should post a pic of a mexican junkyard, well, at least one from south, you can only find stuff from 2000 and beyond, moreover, only from the most popular vehicles... too bad i'm not in The states, you guys have a paradise there

our junkyards are abotu the same then. well they have stuff from the mid 80's in the yards here. and only very few older trucks come in once in a while. you have to be fast and lucky to get the old stuff first.

When my cable hit the exhaust it melted the plastic causing the cable to seize, twist, and mangle itself into total destruction. Kragens had it in stock for $20. You could see if an internet order will ship out of states. Or possibly ask for one in the Parts Wanted section.

I hit up one guy when i need parts, the "global" junk yards dont have crap. But the ones locally run usually do. Or southeast missouri, they have 100s of this trucks.

Craig , come to ft worth and I'll put you in one yard that has about 10-20 of our truck (and a lot of decent parts still). Last time I was out there I begged the owner and she told me those trucks won't go to the crusher. The guy that runs her yard(and crusher) drove my school bus when I was in middle school and he's an old school rodder, he told me as long as he's there those trucks ain't in the way.
