Looking for information on a speedometer cable for a '65 FJ45. Wondering what the part number is? Where to get one? Still available from Toyota?
Thanks

I sent a link via pm regarding the speedo cable pretty sure its the right one.

The standard cable from an FJ40 will work just fine with the three speed. In fact the stock fj45 cable is hella long for the stock app. I don't know what they were thinking. Even with a 4speed, I had to loop mine outside the frame and back in again. I have an NOS 45 cable in its bag. IIRC, it's over a foot longer than the 40 cable.

Thanks for the info Mark.
Question: Is the cable run through the firewall next to the steering column? Mine is missing and I don't see a hole that could be dedicated to the cable.

Just put an nos cable in mine,it was for an fj40 as it fit perfect,no extra length. I believe I routed it thru the harness grommet,will check when I get home.

Thru the harness grommet. Do yourself a favor while you've got the dash open and file an extra half inch in the crown of the dash support where the cable runs behind the speedometer. It makes it a lot easier to maneuver the cluster in and out of the dash.
