cruise control components

Does anyone know where cruise modules and other components for the mid 80s trucks might be sold or rebuilt?

Re: cruise control components

Standard Motor Products sells replacement circuit boards. I could not find one for my 83, so I emailed them and got a response from someone at SMP who said he thought they could rebuild mine. At the time (2010) I emailed David Goldstein at SMP (dgoldstein@smpcorp.com). Since I could not find my part in any of the catalogs (nor could he) this is what he emailed me:

Our rebuild center says they believe they can rebuild this cruise module - they cannot guarantee it can be rebuilt, but they have done similar modules. If you cannot find another source for this unit, it is certainly worth a try. You would have to send it in through a store that deals with us. If you need help finding one, just tell me. I will see what I can do

I decided to forget it. If I get serious about cruise control again I think I will just buy a Rastra electronic unit and have a professional install it. This stock vacuum cruise is just to quirky for me. I have checked everything in my system and I am down to the circuit board or the turn signal cruise lever - replacing those would cost more than a new system from Rastra ($400+)

I had my cruise control unit rebuilt on my 79 and simply went through the GM dealer. They had units there ready to go on an exchange basis.

Rockauto would be the place I'd look. They had cruise control parts for my '77.
