Cruise Control
Went Junkyarding this weekend and couldnt help myself. i ended up pulling the cruise control off of a 1979 f350 ranger camper special with an automatic. my question is will this work with my 1977 f250 crew cab with a 4 speed. i got everything from it but the instrument panel was already out of it. now im worried because i was looking around today and keep hearing about upper and lower cruise control speedometer cable. any help or advice appreciated.

I don't really like to be negative but after all i just went through to get my fatory installed cruise working i would put it all in a box and ship it to me! No really, if you have everything and the electrical background it will be a challenge. That's if it would even work with the standard trans. Did you get the steering wheel, horn pad and the directional switch? It's also wired into the brake system and the device that's in between the upper and lower speedo cables! I'll be looking for that box!
If i were you i would direct my energy,time and cash to something that would be moe useful, i fixed mine only because it was factory installed. Hope that helped.
