You can swap out the speedo from a civy instrument cluster. The civy cluster can not be just swapped directly, it would require swapping somethings around, if you get one you will see what I mean.

Try Saturn Surplus. Last time I looked they had NOS speedometers for CUCV's.

If you are going to a junk yard to pick a used one keep reading. The speedo in my truck failed last month do to the fact that the needle started to bounce while driving, I picked up a speedo from a blazer (gas) at a junk yard. It even has a trip meter! There is one small modification needed to install it in your trucks original cluster, you must drill a small hole on the clear cluster cover for the trip meter shaft. I swaped the odometers to keep the original miles on the new speedo. There are two ways to put your original miles on the aquired speedo, A- use a drill to increase or decrease the mileage on the odometer, or B- take it apart and swap out the odometers by pulling a clip on the odometer shaft, mind you that the needle and the face plated must be removed on order to take out the odometer. Hope this helps.

Junk yard speedo will pop right in. Or you can buy brand new from LMC or Classic for about $150.00
