convert to cable speedo

Is it possible to convert my 91.5 dodge to a cable drive speedo. My computer is munched, and therefore I have no speedo or overdrive. I cant get a computer either.

Can I just get a dash out of a 88 dodge ram and run that with the cable? Also How to i run the overdrive without that? and My cruise also?

Probably cheaper and easier to just replace the computer

Here you go; just what you wanted.

It looks like the cruise-control gets ditched, but that is a good thing; cruise-control is dangerous.
