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

Skruffy · 07-14-2007, 09:41 PM

I was hoping someone here could tell me if this a correct cruise control for our trucks?

I can take more detailed pics if necessary.

Also, and I hope I'm not violating any rule here - but if it is the real thing any idea of about what they are selling for? I bought it like ten years ago and forgot about it until I looked in the box today. Merry Christmas to me!

Yeppers, I have one, however not sure if it's the same, try to look at mine later 4 ya

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-15-2007, 11:36 AM

Rod or john could tell ya for sure but to me it looks newer..

I believe it is a post 72 setup, very nice though and would work fine if installed.
Here is some good info from the FAQ section that covers the different cruise setups.

That could very well be the 71/72 style cruise. They changed when the cable throttle control started. I have seen that style(with the bellows) on stock 72 set-ups. I don't know what changed for 73.

The change from rod to cable throttle dictated a change in the cruise as well. This uses a cable for the cruise.

Skruffy · 07-15-2007, 01:25 PM

Thanks for the FAQ link. It looks to me like the 1970 version, but like is mentioned there, if these things were dealer installed there is almost certainly a lot of variation.

Longhorn Man · 07-15-2007, 01:32 PM

i own a 70 with factory cruise, that looks nothing like a 70 factory c/c... dealer, maybe, but I would think the dealer stiff would have been much like... if not the same as, factory pieces.

The servo in that setup pictured was not used until after 1972.

Here is a picture of the 71-72 dealer installed cruise kit like the one that is installed on my 71. Note the difference in the servo and switch, that is the major difference .

Geez, I appreciate everyone's help, but I think I'm more confused now. I think the one it looks most like is the one HuggerCST posted on the FAQ listed above, but who knows?

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-15-2007, 03:43 PM

Jeff,

Do u have a high res pick of that?

That pic is actually Rods, from the FAQ section about cruise components that I posted earlier.
It was a very informative discussion in that thread and cleared up a lot of stuff about original cruise control equipment, at least for me anyway.

Here is the link again
