No wrecks, and no airbag deployment, at least according to Carfax. Who knows how accurate that is.

But after removing the body lift this weekend, the frame has clearly not been impacted.

How can you tell if your truck had cruise from the factory? I have a '97 Sport. The steering wheel does not have the switches. But the cruise control servo IS present under the hood, and the cable is even hooked to the throttle body. The harness plug is also plugged into the servo. I don't think a "Cruise" light luminates on the dash when I first start the truck -- should there be a "Cruise" light that illuminates as a check? Could it simply be thata previous owner swapped steering wheels to a non-cruise wheel?
the cruise light doesnt go on when i start mine, thats normal. id say that someone might have changed steering wheels for some reason. its strange that if they did, they didnt put in one that had cruise controls on it if that truck had cruise from the factory. ive seen links where you can get a build sheet and find out what options were on the truck when it was new. im guessing, but i think cruise was standard on sport models.

Could have been a small fender bender... You never know. Sometimes even when you like cross a wire you can set the air bags off... But my guess is it is set up, but was never used...
