Default 32 Ford Speedometer

Who rebuilds 32 speedometers. I would like it to work but also keep the patina. Want to hook it to the 350 trans in my 32 pickup. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I also asked this question over on the HAMB. Thanks

Found a shop in CO that can do the cable. He might be able to repair the speedo if it's a SW. Nothing for the other manufacturers of 32 speedos. Any suggestions? Sorry if this being a modified truck offends some of you. The sheet metal and frame are 100% original to the truck with mostly original paint. A little 56 SBC 265 isn't hurting anything.

I had excellent and reasonable repair of my Waltham 32 speedometer by:

Harry Warburton
Archdale, NC
252-258-1530

Papanick did more damage than what I started with. His experience is predominately for Model As, otherwise look elsewhere.

Be aware many of the instrument shops are very backed up with work so expect a bit of a delay in rebuild maybe several months. Can you supply the name and phone of the company in CO that does the speedo cable? I need a tachometer cable.

Rusty made the cable to connect the speedometer in my '54 Ranch Wagon to an AOD trans. He also repaired the Stewart Warner speedometer in my '39 p/u. Very happy with all my dealings with him. JMO
