Interior & Equipment / Cruise control speeds up

1987 R10 350/700R4

After replacing the control arm on the steering column I was happy to see the cruise control works on this old girl. The issue is it  will not maintain a steady speed on a flat straight road. The speed creeps up as I'm driving. Any suggestions on what to check would be great. Thanks in advance and happy wrenching.

I know it does. But until then I was looking for a delete kit with black trim to cover it all up now.

If you are going with Vintage Air they include block off plates for the kick panels.

I am looking to out vintage air into my truck. I don't see the need for it. The plastic is brittle and blue. I am changing my interior to black. I was thinking if there was a delete kit that could seal the vent and have a nice trim piece to cover it. It would make it fresh.

I'll have to replace everything to keep them. Any recommendations on new kits for both sides to replace? Other then  .

This is the only one I know of that currently is in production and it is a solid one piece design. https://pros-pick.com/product/aluminum-tonneau-cover-1973-87-chevrolet-fleetside-fantom/

The opening is for the fresh air intake.  The kick panels were designed (as Vile stated) to redirect water away from the cab.  If you are going to block it off I would recommend modifying the factory kick panels, or just seal them shut.
