Speedometer Replacement for '65 cj

Called 4wd Hardware to order a whole new speedo. The Catalog says it would fit a 55-75. However the guy on the phone said it would only fit 72 and up. He said the hole on the dash panel is different. Can anyone point me in the direction to a new speedometer? Would be nice to know how fast I were going when I started driving. Thanks fellas.

 

I would check on ebay they always have at least one or to good luck.

 

Yea thats what I thought when he told me. Found one in the classifieds. I just dont want to break any speed limits R). It would be nice to know how fast I was going.

 

You could get a GPS device to monitor speed. I have the little $99 model that Garmin sells for hikers. It works well for a speedo if I really need it. My factory speedo hasn't worked since I got my 71 model almost 2 years ago. I don't worry too much about breaking the speed limit. R) I'll fix it someday, but there's higher priorities for the Jeep first. Good Luck!

Missed that ebay one! It was a steal. Thats a good Idea on the GPS for a speedo.

 

Florida no longer requires state inspection on vehicles-for now. But If I cant find an original speedo, Ill get the later model if itll fit. I just want to know my speed, cause there are some speed zones that are really enforced around here.

 

i have a speedometer out of a 78 cj7 in my 1960 willys pick-up. it fit perfectly into the original hole the old one was in.it has a light on it for to show when the emegency drive was in for the quadra trac was in. i used that light for my alternator light.most of the electrical connections are the same.

 

Its good to know that the later model speedo will fit into the earlier ones.
