How hard would it be to get a cruise control out of another colum and put it in my colum would I have to switch colums or can I just take the cruise unit out.

There is a lot more to it than just the stuff in the column........probably easier to get one of those aftermarket kits...........and most of them aren't worth crap either.

I agree with going aftermarket, and while most are probably not good quality; I have had good luck with Audovox's Universal Cruise Control CSS-100. It costs less than $100 and includes a magnet that installs on the driveshaft if you do not have a VSS signal. It is far from stock looking, but it works well. At least the two that I have installed. You can see my entire setup here:

Unless you already have free (or very cheap) access to a factory unit, I would agree that aftermarket is the way to go. I would disagree with poncho's assessment of aftermarket units, however. From my experience these units have fairly poor installation and troubleshooting documentation...but the units themselves function quite well once you get them dialed in. Like Ed, I've had very good luck with the Audiovox unit and wouldn't be without it in my '32. Takes the leg and butt pain out of any long distance run.

If you get the Audiovox unit and have questions during the install...just post and we'll try to help sort out the problem.

I have access to truck in the junk yard I might be able to find a factory unit. I'd like to get one on the colum but if not i will prob go with the audiovox.
