Default odometer problem

My odometer hasn't worked since I bought the car. I have my gauge cluster out and there doesn't seem to be anything connected to the odometer. Am I missing a part? The car is a 63, cluster is 64.

The standard answer is, "They all do that." Unless it's been gutted for some reason, you should find a collection of little gears behind the speedometer face that are supposed to drive the odometer and the trip meter. It's not constructed very well, and everyone's odometer stops working at some point. Common problem. Send your speedo to Jason (or your whole cluster if you want it restored beautifully) and he'll fix it right up.
