Dentside cruise control...again

[LEB Ben]

Alright dentside cruise control experts...it looks like all the parts are there to me. What says you??? Anything you don't see??? Anything I should ask??? How much is a good price???

 

[fatherdoug]

If I remember right, the brake switch is also specific to a cruise setup.?

 

[DNFXDLI]

Yes Doug....there are two switches I believe...and an amplifier under the dash.

 

[LEB Ben]

Amplifier???

 

[DNFXDLI]

Amplifier???

Yes....the unit that takes the wires from the servo, brake pedal, horn relay and horn pad.

Never thought about the cruise until this thread. My 75 supercab has what I think everything there already, but I don't have the steering wheel with cruise. Not sure why the PO would have changed out steering wheels to a non-cruise one and trying to find a cruise steering wheel for a 75 is very hard unless I want to pony up almost $300 for a new one.

Very true.

First off..it is called speed control..not cruise control

Second. The horn pad is what makes the speed control not the steering wheel
The steering wheels are the same.

Yes, the steering wheel itself doesn't control the speed control, but trying to find a horn pad or steering wheel with one for a 75 in good condition is hard. Later ones you can find all day long and get for little to nothing. If I'm missing something and can swap a later style wheel on my 75 column then I'm there and have one. I always thought I couldn't.
