Cruise Control:

I would like to have cruise control in my 1977 Ford F250, is it possible to add this option, the truck did not have it originally.

thanks

Yes you can add it. I've bought all the components at the local junk yard, horn pad with buttons, 2 piece speedo cable, control box that goes under the dash, actuator that bolts on the manifold, all for 25 bucks.

1975/77 F100/350's use a different cruise control than 1978/79's.

1975/77: The steering wheel is specific to cruise control, as is the turn signal switch.

New parts for all the 1975/79's are very hard to find.
