    You could get an aftermarket setup. JC Whitney, Summit, any of those would have it I'm sure.

        look and see if you have a little black box near the ECM... thats where my cruise module is.
        If you got that, a trip to the yard will get you the ball, cables, and the wheel!
        If not, dont give up. I think cruise got intergrated into the ECM at some point

          CVN is good for tech occasionally, lol. I learned that the '90-'91 boxes had cruise integrated into the ECM. All I need for the installation is the servo(what does that look like and where is it?)and a wheel with cruise buttons. This will be another project for me to tackle down the line.

          I still want an '04 steering wheel.

            Cruise servo is the funny round doohicky on the driver's side fender. Its located near the brake booster, and should have a vacuum line or so, an electrical connector, and a cable that runs over to the throttle body.

              Where is the vacuum distribution block? Coming off the servo, there is a line going into the cabin, and another line that snakes behind the wiring harness, and I can't find it again.

                Found it, it's in back of the upper intake manifold on the firewall. As soon as I get a hold of a new wheel with cruise buttons, I'm starting this project.

                  Earlier than 90 had integrated cruise......my 89 has it.I think it was 88-89 that it changed. Prolly was a change along with the body...
