Is the speedometer cable the same for a half ton as it is for a 1ton pickup?

The speedometer is calibrated differently but I THINK the cable is the same. I would think the green bible could tell us. Mine is down in the shop so can't look it up now. The cab is certainly the same dimensions.

I'm not a Green Bible expert but from what I can figure out 42-47 Commercial and Trucks except COE 40-47 takes a 54" long cable
01T 17260. I believe cars and pickups between 32-47 take a 70" cable 99A 17260.
