72 cheyenne out of the junkyard. Factory cruise control?
My cousin bought this 72 cheyenne half ton 2wd for 2500 from a junkyard in lakeside. Runs and drives but needs a little fine tuning to be perfect. Ive been buffing and waxing for 2 days now and it looks way better. My question is if this is the factory cruise control.

Re: 72 cheyenne out of the junkyard. Factory cruise control?
It looks like that was a 'dealer add on' option...so it wouldn't show up on the SPID.
This wasn't uncommon at all with a lot of options including a/c. C.

It's amazing to me that someone would take a truck that is that good of shape to the junkyard, when most of us would kill to have one in that good of shape!

Re: 72 cheyenne out of the junkyard. Factory cruise control?
The story i heard was that its been hidden in the corner of the junkyard for a long time. The last registration sticker is from 98. They didnt let anyone take parts off of it and when they got other 67-72s the guy took the nice parts he could find off of them and put them in this cheyenne.

But back in the 500.00 a ton scrap days of 2006-07 I never saw any of you sitting out front of any of the scrap yards buying all the old car;s and trucks going to the scrap yards. Trust me I called every one i could to sit out front of these places that took junk car's and trucks most of them told me they where getting 3 times what the truck was worth. So we lost 1/4 of these nice gem's i was able to pull parts off as many as i could but my yard is not that big. |

You do need a small magnetic glued to the driveshaft in line with the sensor.
