So far it got a Blueprint 383, new fuel tank, G Force cross member, custom duals, electric tanneau releases, Autometer speedometer and tach replacing the original broken speedometer and clock in the gauge cluster, and some other small things, Lots more to do. I'm collecting parts to replace the cruise control parts that have been removed by previous owner(s). I'll be looking for info on installation of the cruise parts.

Welcome to the site from Houston. Cool car and cool improvements. Are you looking to put the cruise back stock?

Yep. The turn signal/cruise lever is the only part of the cruise control parts still there. Got a transducer, wiring, vacuum lines, speedometer cables and bracket delivered today. Servo, etc shipped today so should have it by the end of the week. It'll be "fun" figuring it all out.
