Today, I ordered a new custom speedo cable from Speedometer Service in Milwaukee, WI...
I got this place's name from AutoMeter directly, because you need a special socket to run the mechanical speedo on a ford :nonono:
69.5" cable...
So, tonight, I head to Lowes to get a holesaw and peice of sheet aluminum, and of course a couple more things
Stay tuned!
Also, could someone post a diagram of 1989-back speedo cluster wiring harness? I need to know what wires go where, so I can wire up things for my lights...

Cheaper than what you're paying?? Yeah, I know the cable snaps on the back of the speedo, but if you follow it down a bit there is a split where it threads together deep in the dash.
