Just went through a 70 Dealer Brochure I have and no mention anywhere in it regarding cruise as an option.
My truck is younger than me.

Simplest route would to be to add a throttle control. They essentially keep the accelerator from returning to rest position. Trucks with PTO winches often had them. My 75 W600 has one, I use it in cold weather as a fast idle.
Or find a car from same era & adapt it to yours.

I am interested in the original stuff details - (if they exist) for an article.
I have no plans to modify my truck. ;-)
I do have a 1973 up truck servo bracket, but I am specifically interested in the Sweptline era possibility here.
