1968 Dodge D100 Pickup Factory Cruise Control on 1970 Duster?

[FJ5 Duster]

I just acquired a 1968 D100 pickup that I plan on flipping for a few bucks. After taking a closer look at it I noticed that it has a 489 sure grip third member and factory cruise control. I'm pulling the third member out of it this weekend hoping for 3.55 or 3.91 gears. I also plan on removing the cruise control setup for my 70 Duster as well. Besides the switch, harness, and actuator is there anything else I need to take off of it or look for? I'll need the brake switch too although it is probably different for a Duster anyway? The truck is a 318 three on the tree.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

You will need to take it all, both speedo cables, brackets, everything.

Good to know thanks!

Check the speedo cable to make sure it clips on the same. I used a 1975 Cordoba for the parts on my Barracuda.

Cruise on a truck? Have pictures? My truck is pretty loaded up, didn't know you could get cruise on a truck.

The cruise control switch is loose on the column but you can see it there. I'm going to sell it with the truck and find a later setup out of a Cordoba or something.

Won't work, the 69 and older units use 3 wires and the 70 and newer use 4 on the switch. If you get the switch from the Doba get it all. I think I have a 68-69 stalk I will sell. I can look if you would like. Looking at your pics, that looks like a newer switch. If it is the cruise was most likely added.

Thanks for the great information! I was also told that 80's Dodge pickups would be a good cruise donor as well.

Yes they are, but I like to use 70 to 78 stuff, as it's more of a stand alone system.

There's a small clip and roll pin on the carb linkage that often gets forgotten.

It's a ***** to get out, too. it's for the secondary cable from the vacuum can.

BTW cruise speedo cable sets are easy to find and cheap- rockauto.

Someone def put a 489 chunk and cruise on a 68 3/tree truck.

Good score, though.
