I have an aftermarket cruise setup for my B61. It uses a driveshaft mounted magnet, and a pickup module to sense driveshaft rotation. The control box will mount to the dash (or wherever is chosen). I think I gave about $175.00 for mine with some of the extra "bells and whistles".

It would be quite difficult to make a factory cruise setup from another vehicle work due to computer interfacing, but it could be done. I will look the brand and vendor that I used, all I remember is that it came from someone that caters to the street rod crowd.

Cruise?? I thought that was what that "locking" throttle(deadman throttle) was?? LOL!!!

Works for me. Since it barely goes over the speed limit I just pull it out full and go. I don't use it often, but a couple long trips it gives the ol foot a rest.
