Looks factory, the type of lettering and the **** match everything else. I've never seen one before, didn't even know they existed.

That's probably worth some money to the right person...

Grab the entire harness without cutting any wires, and try to sell it.

They were (optionally) factory-installed on Broncos, I have never seen one factory-installed in a pickup truck and am not even sure it was available on them.

If you take it, I'd also take any relays & wiring that go with it.

Ha! I agree. Some of these well optioned trucks I run across are nice, but I'm into the bare bones spartan Custom or Base/XL trucks. The look on peoples face when they get in my truck and notice there are no vents on the dash is priceless! Then I say do you want "heat" or "off"?
