is it auto or manual? If manual you'll need a clutch switch too

If it has ABS then all the wiring is there
You will need a brake pressure switch for the master cylinder
If it is a manual you will need a clutch pedal switch (if it is auto you may need to bypass the clutch switch by shorting out 2 pins in the connector for the clutch switch)

It should be that easy.

You need the cable that goes from the cruise module to the throttle and there is a wiring harness that hooks up the module. It runs through the fire wall and plugs in behind the fuse box in the cabin.

You pretty much have it all then as far as I can remember. Hooking it all up is pretty easy.

There is a good write on problem solving cruise at Fordmods. It was written for the late E series but its pretty much the same.
