for cruise control, I did want to adapt it but from what I had read I thought it was impossible for a DBC body. so where is the module for it? is it this box in the pic? if it is I will remove it along with the cable to the TB and the wire connection which seems to be going into the cab, so just cut the wires close to the grommet or trace them all the way to the inside?

looking at the pic reminded me that I wanted to keep the hood light too.
All you need for the mirror to work is the wiring harness and the temp sensor located under the hood latch in front of the A/C condenser. The thing in the dash is for the automatic headlights, you don't need it.

Yes, that pic is the cruise control. Just take it and as much wire as you can get, then to hook it up, just use this thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=511477

The ALDL connector just hooks up to power and ground and one wire to the PCM, so you can just add the wires to make it long enough.
