Parking brake - connection between single front cable and dual rear cables... (EDIT: Maybe - looks similar to mine but not exact...)

Robert, I got that installed on the frame. I hate it when I do this. I remember taking this off, because of the funky little clips. But now I haven't a clue what I took it off of.

i say it is the parking brake also. Could it be the brake connection that mounts to the cross support that is below the rear cab area. The same support that the cab is mounted to

I don't recognize it. Is your truck a 4x4 maybe as I haven't messed with those?

It's the disgronificator. Your truck won't run without that part being properly installed.

I'm not sure this is a good thread to be making light of the situation?

Where's fordman when you need him?
If your truck is a stick it may be something to do with the clutch linkage my truck has something similar to that down near the bellhousing.

This is my parkin brake set up and although yours doesn't look exactly the same...I'm thinking Robert is right.

Looks like transfer case shifter/linkage bracketry of some sort
But then again nothing shifter/linkage wise looks anything like that.
