well I'm sure spoiled by the newer stuff. I would like to find an old cheapie cruise control to put on my 61 manual trans GMC. I have in the past bought a couple- both the style that required a magnet put on the driveshaft with a pickup sensor and also one that took it's signal from the coil wire or a plug wire. they used to be cheap simple units from JC whitney. and that's really all I'm looking for. does anybody know where to find one? I'd kinda like to get one in my old buggy before too long and maybe find me a cheapie old radio to put in the dash and I'm gonna put some miles on this critter. I ordered a heater core yesterday from LMC ( a heck of a lot cheaper than getting it repaired was going to be ) get that heater put in and some seat covers on and it's ready to roll

Back in the 70's there was a 'cruise control' product on the shelves that just pushes the gas pedal down and locks it there. The AD's already have cruise control if that's the standard using the Throttle knob.
