The whole dash should not have to come out, at leat it didn't on my 85. I'll save you some leg work on finding a cable. I looked everywhere for one and only found cheap knockoffs. CJ Pony was the only vendor that came up with a Ford cable. Perfect fit.

The dash does in fact have to come out (or at least down) on these cars -- so you did ok.

For a speedo cable -- I hit the junkyards looking. I've heard aftermarket cables (much like clutch cables) aren't very good. I found a nice Ford cable in another car and grabbed it.
