Can you give us any clues? Did this come off your C750? Are those 2 big electrical lugs sticking out of the side?

Can't read the aluminum plate. It was mounted underneath the frame just behind the cab. Ishould have put a size reference in the photo. It's about 6" in diameter, and 2" deep.

It's an old electric brake lock. They have improved over the years. Some are lever operated.

I didn't know they had an electric lock. I'm familiar with the Lever Lock. We had them on the lumber and building materials trucks I drove as a HS and college kid. An excellent way to hold the truck if you were using the dump bed or better yet the high lift bed.
