ChipFlyer..yours looks correct for 71-72 era except for the lever of signal. 71-72 Trucks never used that type....they were under dash type...and there
are 2 kinds of those... one is the one in the pic of my hand above. The other Ill try to post also.

Rod I know you always have good info about the cruise posts but I am curious about the 71's. Could some have had the turn signal lever switch or is that not possible? The only reason I ask is because I have an original 71 owners manual and it doesn't show the under dash switch at all, in fact it shows how to use the turn signal lever type. Also my old 71 repair manual also shows the turn signal lever and doesn't mention the underdash switch. I'm not disagreeing with you about the 72's I have just never been completly sure about the 71's.

From what I have gathered in looking these things up..cruise became a dealer installed item in late 1970... to many problems with warranty being charged back to factory from what I interpret.

The parts books show this cruise button pictured here as 1970 after jobs and 71+ 72 cruise button. Part number 6465701 group 3.880

The chrome one is part number 6465627 same group 67-69 and 70 first jobs. Although I haven't seen a 67 truck with cruise on the glove box sheet even.

Closest I have seen is 68 on the board who by the way sent me this pic of his 68 vacuum pod...
so another version it seems.

Da-burb sent me this pic of engine bay from a 71 suburban he had that had cruise also. I think it was listed on the glove box also. I can't remember what he wrote back many years ago.

This took me over 8 years to gather up this kinda info..where else you gonna get it , but here.

The black lever with cruise written on it will work but is from newer than our vintage trucks.
