75 High boy cruise control
I'm looking for pic of the cruise control set up on my truck. The truck has cruise control on the turn signal switch and a box where the speedometer cable go but everything else is missing. Need help

Seeing as it's not an OEM set up, your best bet is to probably look for another complete unit......with the manuals. There were several different aftermarket cruise controls offered over the years and knowing which one you have is difficult at best. Most (?) were manufactured by Perfect Circle Corp. but sold under various brand names.
As to your unit. You should have the controls (on the T/S stalk) the control box (usually under the dash or hood) speed sensor, vacuum servo and the various vacuum lines and wires that tie it all together.

Is it OEM (dealer installed 
) or aftermarket? 
/ Section 97.1 - Page 1 (upper pic) will tell the tale.

Servo assy, speed control
use w/ dealer installed speed control
75-78 F100-350 2WD w/ automatic trans
D4AZ-9C735-C
I located 11 at various dealers and obsolete suppliers, let me know if you want the names.
The catalog only shows for 2WD but I don't see why it couldn't be used on a highboy.

They'll have to get it from one of the dealers that has it, it's been obsolete for a while.
Here are a few of the ones that I located.
Green Sales, Cincinnati, OH has 3 (800) 543-4959
Parts International, Farmers Branch, TX has 1 (972) 241-8730
Kinsel Lincoln-Mercury, Beaumont, TX has 1 (800) 816-2894
