Cruise control - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-29-2002, 10:43 PM

Does anyone have any pics of factory cruise controll, my truck has it but im not sure if it is factory....It has two switches one on each pedal(brake and clutch)but i am swapin to a th400 so what would i need to do with the extra switch on the clutch pedal??? Any help would be great.....

da-burb · 12-30-2002, 12:42 AM

Those switches turn off the cruise control when you either step on the brake or the clutch pedals. You should be able to run a jumper and connect the 2 wires on the clutch side once you do the swap.

It is possible that the "clutch" switch will unplug from the harness a little further up the line. If it does then that is the way to go. No sense having any more of a rats nest of wires under the dash than there already is.

Longhorn Man · 12-30-2002, 12:52 AM

I have factory cruise on the Longhorn...what pics do you need? (mine is not a stick though)

Rod · 12-30-2002, 01:00 AM

The cruise wiring harness has plugs for both pedals even if you dont need it if you have an auto... you can send the clutch switch here. lol.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-30-2002, 02:15 AM

Longhorn i could use a pic of the black box and the colum switch...Rod im not sure if i lost the switch for the clutch,but i only have a switch on the brake pedal with vaccum lines running to it.....I did have a clamp with a little ball type chain on the clutch pedal but the chain broke but if thats what you need its yours just pay the shipin...

Hooter · 12-30-2002, 03:25 AM

I didnt know cruise was avaliable with a standard

Rod · 12-30-2002, 12:57 PM

May take you up on that switch offer.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-30-2002, 01:18 PM

Thanks everyone for the help.....My cruise looks nothing like those pics .....Heres what i got........ round canister with ball chain that bolts to the back of the head and conects to the carb...two vaccumm hoses come out the back of the canister and route threw the firewall to the brake pedal where there is a switch with the wires running up to the brain box mounted under the dash...The brain box has this on it - low speed sw. adj - centering adj-and sensitivity adj.....also the brain has two wires running to a bracket mounted undr the floor to get a reading from the driveshaft.....The on/off switch is in the colum with the turnsignals........Thanks everyone .....

red71cheyenne · 12-30-2002, 01:27 PM

That sounds like the delco unit I have that I got from Jerry Moss. The switch with the vacuum lines going to it is the one that disengages it when you step on the brake. The little chain is used to set the "depth" of the brake pedal. If you step on the brake, it releases the switch and cuts off the vacuum to the solenoid on the back of the carb. The brain should say delco on it somewhere. The switch for the clutch, mine doesn't have. I can take some pics if you need them tomorrow. Jeff.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-30-2002, 01:32 PM

Mine dont say delco on it but it does have a moulded square in the center of the top ...I guess there could have been a sticker there?? also is has this around the plug-in for the wires 1-r 3390b-44- thanks agian

red71cheyenne · 12-30-2002, 01:40 PM

Is it controlled from the turn signal? Mine is. I don't have it at work with me, but I'll take pics tomorrow so you can see how it is installed. Jeff.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-30-2002, 01:43 PM

yes its controlled from the signal switch and pic would be great

Longhorn Man · 12-31-2002, 12:54 AM

Hmmm, the switch is the only thing that sounds like what I have. My parts are scattered all over the basement at the moment...but there was no black box involved.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-31-2002, 12:59 PM

Red 71 thinks it might be a delco unit ...Its all been installled very nice like i was just converting over to an auto and still wanted the cruise to work ......Thanks for all the help

Rod · 12-31-2002, 03:33 PM

some said this cruise lever original for 70.

Rod · 12-31-2002, 03:41 PM

69-70 cruise typical

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-31-2002, 04:39 PM

That lever looks kinda like mine but its hard to tell except my lever is black...Thanks rod

red71cheyenne · 12-31-2002, 08:15 PM

Ok, here's some pics of the unit. My digicam is kind of sucky tho, so bear with me. By the way its a DANA unit, not Delco like I thought. You can't make out the tag in the photo, but thats what it says.

red71cheyenne · 12-31-2002, 08:24 PM

Vacuum canister

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-01-2003, 02:14 AM

Thats the same one i have thank you very much. By the way this unit would have been installed it left the show room ,right????? Ohhhhhhh and i love that dash it look s like solid wood or is it an overlay???

Jeff M. · 01-01-2003, 02:17 AM

That looks like my aftermarket Dana unit. Factory didn't have t he resume feature on them.

Longhorn Man · 01-02-2003, 01:00 AM

Here is a (faint) picture of my switch. I don't have my digi-cam here, so i can't get a better pic right now.
This is not the correct one for '70, but I think it is the right one in a '69.
like stated, there is no resume button, and no slide switch, just the one in the end of the lever.

Hooter · 01-02-2003, 01:08 AM

Thats a cruise set-up from Dana that was avaliable in the early 1980's.
