Pop Quiz.....

Who can tell me what this is? Or year it may have been made/installed? It came on my truck and I wondered what it was till I looked closer at it. If nobody figures it (I know someone will though) I'll post another pictures showing what it is.

Close but the controller mounts under the dash. It is actually a resistor to change braking pressure to the trailer brakes. Slide the bracket to set it. None of that fancy in cab adjustment like the new controllers. Anyone have any idea in the year of this thing? My controller still seems to be working, moving, so maybe this thing is still working. It is kinda neat, but I will be replacing it with a newer one.
