what length should the whole cable be from trans case to speedo head from the nut to nut . I HAVE SENT CABLE OUT TO A P T TO HAVE THE TANG FOR THE TRANSFER CASE PUT BACK ON IT WORKED FOR ABOUT ONE DAY AND NOW NO SPEEDO MADE D.A.M SURE IT WAS ALL LINE UP BUT NOTICE IT LOOK LIKE TO SHARP OF A BEND FROM THE T CASE TO WHERE IT STARTS TO GO FORWARD TO THE SPEEDO HEAD. i have not gone under the truck to check anything as of yet but my money is on a short cable as the cable does not look to be a 1952 housing

I don't know the length off the top of my head, someone will probably know it here but I can say that the "sharp" bend at the T-case is normal and a common concern. There is a 90 degree adapter that some use to eliminate the angle. I think Charles could probably chime in on them or you could do a search of the archives for the posts discussing them.

All of Mine are 101 1/2 inches end to end of the farthest most of nut extended.
Drive pin on small end is flush with end of nut.
On the large end it protrudes about 3/8" from the nut.
