Hey guys, I need to get the speedometer head rebuilt for my '68 F250. Do you have any recommendations for a reliable and reasonable speedo shop? I've done some searching but nobody stands out and I'll take a referral any time possible. Happy to ship it anywhere in the US. Location doesn't matter.
thank you!

There are a few places I was able to find but I've never used them personally.

Depending on the repair cost, you can still get new ones through DC.

Re: Speedometer Repair Shop Recommendation?
For over 30 years there was a A+ speedometer shop, (that's all he did-rebuilt mine in my old Bronco for me) in my town of Naples, Florida.
But i can't seem to locate him anymore, (seems it was called A-1 Speedometer)?
Here's the nearest search i found in Atlanta:
www.atlantaspeedometer.com
And one in Miami Florida:

Re: Speedometer Repair Shop Recommendation?
You might consider replacing the head. I bought a replacement several years ago and it was less expensive than rebuilding. With the number of overseas parts coming into the US getting quality replacement for the internals is questionable while a replacement unit FORD OEM has more of chances of surviving. My thoughts, good luck.
