I can't remember exactly what year it is I'm pretty sure it's a '76 but I have a Chevy Cheyenne that has a broken speedometer, it stays at 0 mph all the time, how do I fix it? I don't want to have to replace it and from what I hear its not to hard on the older models like this cause they aren't to technologically advanced.

How you fix it depends on what's broken. It could be a stripped gear, a broken cable, or a bad speedometer head. If the odometer works you know the gear and cable are okay. Probably the easiest is to unscrew the cable from the transmission, then roll the truck a little to see if the end of the gear is turning.
