Default Speedometer in a 51

Ok guys i picked up my new gauges for my 51 truck, old analog gauges. (I like the original look) I see the place for my speedometer cable. The 4l60e transmission has an electrical plug that feeds into the wiring harness. (ls-1) 4.8 liter engine. How do I get the conversion from the harness to the cable ?? I have wire on my harness for the speedometer hook up, the vss is already in the transmission and running inot the harness?? How does the two match up.

You can also try the Abbott Cable-X, But there is not cheap solution, Might also look into GPS Speedo's
