Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy

Yes - V6 (...we have a long and glorious tradition in my family of driving 6 cylinder pickups); factory tach, manual trans with cruise. It's quite a mixed bag....



I recall that I had to retrofit the cruise and the tach. The story was something like: they were available options with the manual trans but got stop ordered. When the stop order was lifted, engineering re-released the cruise and tach for the three-on-the-tree manuals but *forgot* about the floor shifted manual. As a result, I knew all the parts were available and would work but the system wouldn't allow me to order the truck that way.

I got the parts after the fact and installed them myself. 22 years later they're still working!
