The Ford speedometers often will seize from non-use. They have a small plug that can be removed and a few drops of 10W oil added as well as around the entry of the shaft into the speedometer. If you can get the shaft to move with a small screwdriver blade then you can use an electric drill in reverse, to turn the shaft and this usually frees up the speedo shaft.
