It's not anything temporary because the frame was punched for its placement.

Maybe. It's hard to tell from the pic if it's inset in the frame.

What is on the other side of the frame from UFO (Unknown Frame Object)?

Is that attached or just something that is just laying loose against the frame there?

It's an electrical connector. Probably got pulled off a harness somewhere, I bet it's just wedged in there. The 2 holes would have wires going in, you can see the sealing washers in there. It's hard to tell but the locking clip side seems to be against the spring bracket. I doubt it was a spare..so I'd be wary of that truck.

Have you checked to see if there's any voltage across them?

It's not his truck, spotted at a dealership.

Looks like a plug for a wiring harness socket, that fell off during installation on the assembly line and landed there.
