Just checked a 17260-B cable on ebay and its listed to fit 1930-1948 pass cars. The male threaded end of the T5 mechanical sender is the same as the males threads on the stock Ford "turtle" sender. The stock cable in my 1938 truck screwed right on the T5 sender. If you are using the T5 with a mechanical speedometer sender it should work for yours too. I believe that the differences in the different Ford cable numbers is length and cable covering but the ends are identical.

Photos of what you have would help.
