Cruise Control retro fit
My 81 C30 does not have cruise and I really miss it when i was on a long trip last week.

I have a 87 Instrument cluster in the truck that i retro fitted as mine originaly came with dummy lights only so it has the little green box on the back that I believe is for speed pickup for the newer style cruise control.

So Im thinking if its posibel to retrofit the new style from the 83-87 style cruise but with the older style cruise/Turn-signal stok

I have a 87 cruise Control unit so all i need would be the wiring harness, pedal switch and the Vacuum canister for the throttle?

Anyone done something similar or know of a better solution

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

Re: Cruise Control retro fit
Might be simpler to get a Rostra kit instead of trying to resurrect the OEM cruise control? IIRC, there's one part for the OEM system that is no longer available (maybe it was the servo?).
