Default Adding cruise control?

How difficult do ya'll think it would be to add OEM cruise control to a 78 L-82 4 speed?

Doing some research, it appears all the parts are available from various sources. Initial cost estimate seems to be in the $300-$500 range.

I added an OEM cruise to my car after I got it. In my case, it took a while to find all the parts as 1977 was a one year only for the column switch and the servo. It did not take me long to install it. Cutting the hole in the firewall for the harness to go through was my biggest challenge.

Rich, thanks have bookmarked that page.

Binnie, thanks for confirming it both can be done and isn't a technical nightmare.


Anyone else done this?
