1994 P/U Speedo??
My speedo quit working this morning on me, any tips would be great, is it electronic or mechanical? I went down a bumpy road and it stopped working.
Just currious if it might be a plug or if it's a cable?
HELP Please! I love driving my little truck and would like to fix it.. 4WD Regular cab 4cylinder 5 speed.

Look on the back of the transfer case (do you even have one? You don't tell us much.) on the passenger side. Is there a cable? An electrical connector?
If the speedometer just quit it could be a lot of things. If it dropped to zero, then popped back up after a few seconds, that's characteristic of a failing VSS1 (speed sensor).

Probably. It seems to happen to a lot of us at this age. Did it take out your cruise control too? (If not, it could be in the combination meter (cluster).
RockAuto has the part (check the pictures; I don't know (yet) why there are different sensors). Alas, it is an expensive part, as an electrical item I doubt anyone (RockAuto, your dealer, ) would accept a return. There is a procedure to test it, but you have to be pretty handy with jumpers and a voltmeter.
