Question Thinking out loud

I have been working on the 71 truck here lately to get ready for the Hot Rod Pour Tour. It's going to be a 3000 mile round trip and maybe more so I have been thinking about adding a cruise control setup to the truck.

1. Where can I get a stock turn signal lever for the column to run it?
This would be my biggest thing to find I would think. The brake light switch should be easy enough to find for a late model car.

2. The speedo stuff I don't need since I have GPS speedo and no more cables hooked to transmission, is this going to be a problem you think?

3. I have a 86 305 TPI motor so I would think a 80's cruise is what I need also for the easyness to adapt to the motor stuff. The under the hood stuff that is.
Suggestions comments any help pointing me in the right direction would be great.
Don't really want a whitney hook up but it might be the best thing.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
