WIW.. factory 68 cruise control - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

not quite complete.. missing the vacuum pod and chain that mounts on the firewall, the bracket is there just the pod is missing.. any ideas??

HuggerCST · 11-26-2008, 02:33 PM

What shape is the turn signal lever in? Since it's not complete, I'd say it's worth more parted, but then, I see a couple of pieces that I need.

I'd say $100-175. It's pretty rare, but not many people seem to want factory cruise.

Thanks for the reply.. I will have to go take a look at the lever to see condition.. Which parts do you see that you may need?

HuggerCST · 11-27-2008, 11:22 PM

Mainly the turn signal lever. I don't have mine in front of me, but if I remember correctly, I need the chain clip on the throttle linkage, the brake pedal switch bracket, and maybe a speedometer cable. I'll have to look to be sure. Let me know if you decide to split it up, or a price for all of it. Thanks

Sorry it took me a bit to respond. finally found a some time to remove it from the truck.
The lever has a couple of minor pitts in the chrome and the chrome is coming off on the end..

I would rather sell the entire assembly, If you would consider $150 for all of it.. its yours.. let me know..

Here are a few more pictures.

I think $150 is too low, there are many on the parts board that have been trying to collect all the parts for a factory cruise and have paid much higher for less.

I'll take it!

Livrat · 12-12-2008, 10:33 PM

Chad,
I traded it off a week ago.. sorry.. I forgot to delete the thread. Oops.
I do know of another one thats nice and complete.. but spendy! he is asking $450 for it.. ouch..

Was this on your glove box build sheet? It was my understanding that cruse control was not offered till 70 or 71 as a replacement for speed warning.

Livrat · 12-17-2008, 11:03 PM

Unfortunately the SPID was gone from the glove box.

**jerry moss** · 12-21-2008, 06:47 PM

it was available from the factory in 68, i had a 68 burb with factory cruise and it was on the SPID. mine also had buddy buckets and shoulder belts too-all factory. up until now i have never seen another one.

You learn something new every day.... I'll add this to my list of unique factory options.

LUV2XCLR8 · 12-31-2008, 05:19 PM

I have one, but not sure if I have everything.

I could post some pictures of a complete 68 unit if you would like to compare it to yours.
