1978 chevy c65

Bought this dump truck and realized the speedometer doesn't work. The speedometer cable comes out of the firewall and into a box that has a wire going to it, then goes to transmission. Anyone know what the box is and if it could be why the speedometer doesn't work. Thanks

    Does this truck have a two speed rear end? If so that "box" is the two speed for the speedometer.

    It seems like most of the time it will be a bad cable.
