just saw a rare steering column... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Fellow member had a tilt column with factory cruise for sale. The column had a lever for the cruise. Very interesting.

**71blksuper4x4** · 07-17-2011, 05:45 PM

Was the cruise handle black or Chrome? If it was black, it wasn't our era factory cruise and may have been a van tilt out of the 73-up. Trevor

72gmcshorty · 07-17-2011, 05:58 PM

pretty sure it was chrome

Longhorn Man · 07-17-2011, 06:20 PM

that's the correct '70 lever.

dubds10 · 07-17-2011, 07:18 PM

Sold now lol

In my Grande Sierra right now but I'll probably have the truck stripped this week hopefully. It's the factory option but the it has the black knob that says cruise not the chrome knob but it has the chrome handle. All the wiring is still connected and I can hear the cruise kick in but I have no idea how well these old trucks did with cruise control lol

Pretty sweet truck. The 402 was rebuilt with a few speed goodies and sounds nice. Don't know it's current HP or anything but I may tear it down and build it back up and have it dyno'd. Fast truck though, so I sold my 350 in my '72 and I'm putting the 402 in the Blazer now

The only thing missing for options in this truck was the A/C.

Is this the correct, factory lever ? Was cruise control available from 67 on ?

GASoline71 · 07-17-2011, 08:23 PM

I don't think it was available until 1970. My old man has a 1970 C10 with the factory cruise control in it. Even listed on the SPID in the glovebox.

Steve Hafner · 07-17-2011, 08:37 PM

This first SPID is from a 70 - the second was said to be from a 68 - It is a CST with a 157 inch wheelbase and "Camper Nameplate".
I don't know enough about the VIN to tell what it is.

I sell my stuff locally usually. Had five guys ask for it today and it sold first thing this morning. I'm sure there's more of these down in Cali though. A lot more trucks in the States compared to here so rare options like these we don't see too often up here.

**jerry moss** · 07-17-2011, 10:23 PM

not sure about 67 but i know for a fact it was available in 68. i owned a 68 suburban with factory cruise. button was in the handle and the option was on the SPID.

Steve, to answer your question, no, that isn't the correct chrome lever. That is a buick cruise lever. Trevor
