Speedometer Cable Plug

[Coz3z3]

Hey there, new guy here.

Just finishing up with installing a new Painless Wire harness in the truck (78). Decided to go ahead and put some aftermarket gauges in it. I am going to install a GPS speedo and am having a hard time finding what I would need to get rid of the speedometer cable and to plug the hole down below.
Tried doing a search on the forums with not a lot of luck.


Thanks

Yeah I’d say weld up the top of the old speedo gear maybe braise it and slap a new o-ring on and call it good

Never thought of that. Will probably end up going that route. Thank you for the help!

Just leave the cable in tact but unplugged at the gauge side?

Good idea. I can't seem to find a speedometer adapter , carrier, whatever they are called , anywhere. Need 2 or 3 of them for the Muncies that I am building.

Yes, I thought of doing this first, but wanted a little cleaner look to it. Thanks for the input!
