Cruise control Q - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Longhorn Man · 04-11-2003, 10:11 AM

Anyu one have any pics of how it is supposed to go? I guess I didn't take ny pics of itwhen I was ripping it all apart.
How does the chain hook to the throttle?
Where do I need to put vacume lines? ect
Pics would be awsome.

Longhorn Man · 04-11-2003, 03:52 PM

Any one?
(the one ton is dam close to starting up now...I'll get pics up tonight or tomorow)

*Gee_Emm* · 04-11-2003, 07:16 PM

I think the best one to ask would be Longhornmail, he knows everything :p (TTT)

Longhorn Man · 04-11-2003, 08:47 PM

LOL!
I'm not the only one here with cruise control am I?

Roberty · 04-12-2003, 02:21 AM

I have a Cruise Control question as well. I have a complete NOS cruise control setup for a mid-80's Chevy truck and I was wondering if this would be a better cruise setup on my '71 than an original cruise would be. I know it wouldn't be original under the hood with the 80's unit but aren't the newer ones more reliable? I know the original ones for my truck are extremely rare and $$ also.

Ask Andy, he knows every thing! LMAO!
I would like someone to give up the info, I want to add cruz to mine soon

Cheesewagon · 04-12-2003, 11:26 PM

Hey Andy, are talking about the system that came off the caddy donor? If so what year and model, and engine size? Let me know and I'll go up the library and scan the picture out of the Mittchell Manual at the ref. desk. If you guys need any of this kind of info let me know I have 24 hr. access to this stuff. Catch yoy latter, Tom.

Rod · 04-13-2003, 12:06 AM

Only have pics from a 71 and a 72.

Rod · 04-13-2003, 12:10 AM

72, this one I own.

Rod · 04-13-2003, 12:17 AM

Andy4639 posted this service manual page a while back also.

Rod · 04-13-2003, 12:19 AM

NOS one that sold on ebay.

Rod · 04-13-2003, 12:24 AM

The 70 service manual has pics like what Andy posted also... you could check that out also.. it would show the chain and mounting of the vacuum pod also.

Is that an original '72 NOS setup? How much did it sell for?

Roberty

Rod · 04-13-2003, 01:16 AM

you posted this pic before of your 70 cruise longhornmail

Rod · 04-13-2003, 01:18 AM

I didn't record what the NOS one sold for.

Roberty · 04-13-2003, 01:23 AM

I can only imagine what that one brought. I've seen a couple of incomplete setups with an asking price of around $200.

Roberty

Longhorn Man · 04-13-2003, 01:47 AM

I was looking at that pic, and can't quite tell how the heck it was hooked up.
Oh well, I'll remember one of these days.
Thanks for all the info on here.

*Gee_Emm* · 04-13-2003, 11:46 AM

Does anyone have the factory assembly manual handy, it would probably be in there.

Rod · 04-13-2003, 12:55 PM

I have the assembly manual also... but they're just difficult to figure out where to look... I scanned it a few times and never found anything on cruise.

GMC Jim · 04-13-2003, 03:55 PM

1971 Chevrolet Truck Chassis Service Manual (Series 10-30) ; Section 15; Accessories - Cruise Master cruise control has 6 pages of diagrams; installation; testing; adjusting and electrical diagram. Looks like anyone that has a factory cruise control would need all this information to properly install , adjust and service the cruise control..........Jim

Roberty · 04-13-2003, 06:19 PM

Anybody have this Chevrolet Truck Chassis Service Manual and care to scan it and post it for us?? I'm sure I'm not the only one here interesterd.
Thanks, Roberty

Longhorn Man · 04-13-2003, 11:47 PM

If someone could scan it and send it too me I would VERY much apreciate it. I could post them on here for others too.

Rod · 04-14-2003, 01:56 PM

hmmm

Rod · 04-14-2003, 02:05 PM

these last two pics posted above are 70 set ups

HOTFUN · 04-14-2003, 06:26 PM

NOS Cruise set ups. I bought one complete in the original box off eBay for $400 and a month later the same guy had another one on ebay. I bid along thinking I would buy it too for trading or a spare. I had $175 bid in reserve early on and missed going back in time. Some guy pulled it out in the last minute at the next bid of $180. What a buy as I have never seen these since the early 70's before mine came up on eBay and I had $500 in reserve on that one. I feel lucky to have this one.
