Re: 1972 gmc 2wd highlander with original paint

Then after adding a hitch I, of course, needed a trailer brake controller. I kept dragging my feet about adding. Cause a traditional style trailer brake controller, was going to look completely out of place, and be super ugly.
But luckily I stumbled across the perfect one on Amazon. It is called the compact IQ by Reese and works perfectly. Just took a small piece of 1-inch aluminum angle we had sitting around, drilled 2 holes, and mounted it with some double-sided tape through one of the heater control holes.

I do not know why these pictures turned, nor how to fix them. But, this picture shows you ruffly where I mounted the control box on the brake pedal bracket. Works perfectly.

I was a little worried that the adjustment knob was going to be in the way and people were going to hit their knees on it and brake it since it sticks out a little. But as soon as I got it the seat, I realized that was not going to happen. I am 6'2" and do not even come close to hitting the knob.

Then of course a picture of it being used. I need to put air helper bags on it, cause in this picture it is about an inch off of the bump stops. luckily we did not have to go far.
