I asked my brother that same question a bunch of years ago. And ya know what? I'll be danged if I completely remember. I think it is a resistor, but I'll be danged if I remember what it's for. Maybe the forum for this year truck is the best spot for the question...someone can go out and look at their truck. Gawd, I hate getting older... my half-heimers just drives me nuts!

My truck is a 77 and the only thing I have visable that looks like that is the horn relay and it is on the pasenger side under the hood.

It looks like it may be a circuit breaker or a turn signal flasher.
It is much to big to be a circuit breaker and the turn signal flasher is round for the 73-79 era
I would definetly agree it is a horn relay

Again, how many spades?
If it's only two, either a circuit breaker (self-resetting) or a flasher.
My brother put all sorts of odd things into my truck when it was his, a seperate flasher for SOMETHING, don't remember what, circuit breakers, etc.
If it's three, could be a relay, but wired weird. Relays are usually four-spade (SPST), five-spade (SPDT), etc.
A four-spade relay could be setup to only require three spades in certain situations
