Question About Cruise Control. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I purchased a complete cruise control setup on Ebay that came from a 76 Chevy Truck. Is there any reason why this would not be able to be used on my 68 Burb?

as long as it's complete, I can't think of anything that would stop you from getting it to work... might help to have a shop manual for that year... just curious, does the control mount on the turn signal lever or on the dash?

Ive got a friend that has that style C. control on his '64 Burb 4x4 with a 454. It works good! (GREAT swap meet hauler!) He just needs to get his AC working! If you have any ???s , drop a note& I can get you in touch with him.

The vacuum relief valve mounting bracket is different on 67-72's. This is the valve that mounts to the brake pedal that shuts the system off when you hit the brakes. Also, check out how the servo cable mounts to the carb linkage-different types. The short speedo cable (going from speedo head to transducer) may be different. I think the later 70's had a clip that held the cable in on the back of the speedo head where it screwed on in the early 70's. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the input. I guess I will know more when I get it. But I figured for $20 for the complete setup, it is worth a shot.
