If the tach works the speedometer itself is bad. You can get a used one pretty cheap from the online junk yards. I have purchased them for as little as $15.

Go to auto zone and pick up a VSS. Vehicle speed sensor. it is a common problem with F series engines. If the speedo only works once in a while, or flickers, That is the problem. It is a painless fix.
