adding factory cruise control

I have a 96 f150 5.0/e4od without cruise. I got the whole steering column and the black box under the hood with the cable that hooks to the throttle body off of a 95 f150 5.0/e4od. The box plugs right in to my 96. Is this all I need to put cruise in my truck?

I'm only posting here because I want to know the answer. I have the 4.9 liter motor with a 5-speed stick. My question is the same as dropped.

Why answer a question with a question?

And we don't want to put a fire hazard in the truck. We want to add cruise control.

But, there should be some sort of switch on the brake pedal to turn it off. (And, of course, the fuse in the panel.)

Why not?

Come on, really? You seriously haven't heard about the infamous spontaneous combustion from faulty cruise wiring in 90s Ford vehicles? That's why I'm keeping mine cruise free!
