    If you just need the inside cable and not the housing, a speedometer or speed shop makes them,,,,,,,

    The part number is good, xref' with mine. Mine is listed in the book as fitting 65-69 ChevyVan and others. Here is my PN with the Crossover numbers as well:
    03161
    03359
    47-3130
    47-3590
    CA-3007

    I put this cable in my 64 a few years back, it later dropped down onto my new exhaust and ruined the cable. I do have the TH350 but this cable is the same as the one my 64 had originally with the PG trans.

    The stock cable in my 64 was 117". When I did the tranny swap I had to use the stock cable from a 66 since the speedo connection is further back on the tailshaft. The 66 stock cable is 122".

    when i had the 69 with th350 had to replace mine also - i think i used the 120" , it may have been the pioneer as in the ebay list above - it made it but could have used a few more inches - yes you can just go to your local parts store and order one - i think i paid lower 20s and no shipping - oo3
