After checking out the after market cruise controls, I decided that it was too expensive and too labor intensive for me to do. I ended up going to NAPA auto parts and purchasing a $6.00 manual choke cable assembly. I drilled a hole in a small plate in my dash to the right and below the steering column and mounted the choke cable there. I cut it to length and bent the cable to pull the gas pedal lever out when I pulled the choke knob. Make sure that when the knob is pushed in, the gas pedal has free travel. Now when my foot and leg need a rest, I pull the choke knob out until it matches the speed I want to maintain. Don't use it in heavy traffic, because it doesn't "shut off" when the brake is pushed. This is a cheap and effective alternate to cruise control.
