speedo cable
 

Ford's ton and a half AA and BB need a long speedometer cable, over 100 inches. Does anybody know of a source or solution for a missing cable?

The internal teleflex cable core was provided in bulk to those that provided specialty speedo and tachometer services. The one end could be formed in a special machine like a spot welder to provide a square end and the other end generally has some form of swaged on drive end. I've seen universal cables that have a measure of bulk cable core and a swage on fitting with a tool to swage it for the DIY guys. Now whether you can get a long enough core or the correct swage this way, I don't know.

There is only one place that performs this service in San Antonio at a shop called S.X. Callahan, Inc and caters to the trucking and industrial community here. I'm not certain that they are still in business but they may still be.

Look for a shop that makes up PTO cables. Trucking industry.

Showing my lack of experience here, but are these ends unique to Ford?

There are 120 inch cables, and cable-to-cable extenders available from numerous retail locations.
