Cruise Control?
Now that I have my '67 C20 dialed in and running good, I'm thinking about adding an aftermarket cruise control. Who has done this and what type did you use?
I'm running a small block with a 700r4 trans and 4:56 locker rear end. CrashBob

Re: Cruise Control?
A guy in my hometown who customizes trucks installed a full cruise unit out of a similar year (1967-1972 I assume) Chevrolet car into his 1971 shortbox C-10 that looks just as FACTORY as I would ever imagine! I have been wondering if anyone else could chime in on that idea or parts needed to make it look like it was always there.

Re: Cruise Control?
Mine has cruise. It looks like a dealer add on from when the truck was new. I'll snap some pics of it shortly. I have had is disconnected for a while since the diaphragm is toast and my speedo cable was bouncing. I have no idea how this info will be helpful to you but there it is.

Re: Cruise Control?
OhOneWS6- that's exactly like the same setup I just found in a junkyard on a 72, which has been believed was a 73-74 only setup, but I still think this has to be a 72 dealer installed unit as well. Trevor

Re: Cruise Control?
I purchased an Audiovox aftermarket system from JC Whitney for less than $100 quite a few years ago. It works good. I do have to disconnect it this time of year to make room for my underhood hydro pump for my plow but since I don't drive the truck on the road in the winter (salt) that doesn't bother me having it disconnected.
I really like having cruise control for longer trips. I don't have any photos spicifically of the cc unit on this computer but I have a few from unrelated posts. You can barely see the control unit I hung knee-knocker style under my dash and the ball chain piece on my carb that is held by vacuum when I turn it on.

Re: Cruise Control?
That's cool that you have seen another one just like it. My guess would be it was installed on a 72 year model truck after the 73 units came out. Maybe someone returned to the dealer at a later date or, like I did with my 07, it was purchased after the next model year was already on the lots. Pretty cool either way.

Re: Cruise Control?
Back in the day, the "Worlds Largest Store" had an auto center. It was Sears, okay? I was laid off from the job I eventually had to retire from but Sears was hiring and I needed a job. This was in '76. They sold and installed an aftermarket cruise control that attached to the turn signal lever...piggyback style. I'm sure you "older" folks will remember them.

Re: Cruise Control?
You need to be a paying member to have a wtb ad. Also, there are several different styles of original cruise systems for these trucks. The style WS6 has is only for 72-74'. There were others for 67-70, and 71-72. Trevor
