Can anyone tell me what this part is? I found this on a 1948 1/2 ton GMC pickup. I don't have a clue what it is. The truck appears to be relatively unmodified. Is this a stock part?

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
