The most expensive part would be the steering wheel with the control buttons. Maybe find a used one?

Depending on what year your truck is: the cruise control for 2000 and later is a kit from the stealership that consists of a steering wheel with the switches installed and a coiled harness and a sheet of instructions on how to install the stupid thing correctly. The rest of the control stuff is already via the computer controls. The idle controller installs the same way but the kit data is harder to come by. Either device will work as a speed control. I myself installed the cruise control on my XL contractor's truck.

How do I figure out which one I need? There is a bunch of them here.
I have a 2001 F350 7.3

easy: go to stealerdealer with your truck/vin number and ask them which kit and how soon you'll get it. They know how to do this easy stuff. It is probably even the same kit #. Otherwise look in the official aftermarket catalog to see if there is a year/model listing. I am guessing that the numbers mutated to 1c3z 9a818 aa. and WOW they got pricey.
