Maybe not. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 171 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 171 | Don't want to be a bonehead but did you follow the wire? My git says horn or maybe a turn signal flasher

I had one on my '71 C10 that has a 350 and I've seen them on several other C-10s as well. As I understand it they helped hold a "decel" solenoid in the extended position until the brake light switch cut it out.
best wishes,
