Adding cruise control to 98 C1500

I can't stand not having cruise when driving on the highway. Luckily it's pretty easy to add on these trucks if yours wasn't optioned for it. Literally just swap out the turn signal stalk and add the module to the firewall, hook up the cable to the TB and you're off. Yes there are already videos...

OBS noob

Greetings from Indianapolis. About a year ago my 98 year old granddad wanted to give me his 98 GMC C1500 LB, and I gladly took him up on it. It's pretty beat up, and rust is pretty bad on the underbody, but it's a truck. Some day I'll get my hands on a pristine K1500 LB OBS but for now this will...
