Re: Whats this?

My guess would be an antenna cable for a radio.

Re: Whats this?

Yup. The the funny looking hardware on the end gets pulled up tight under the fender by the antenna nut to give a good ground.

That's a strap to hold the muffler up so it doesn't drag on the ground!!!!

That antenna cable escaped the trash barrel until to day with effective hiding techniques.

Re: Whats this?

That still might work if you can find the mast and the fittings that go on top of the cowl/fender.
There should be a rubber base gasket, plastic piece that looks like half of a ball with an elongated hole in it, a chrome piece that goes over that, a chrome nut that screws on the piece you showed and then the antenna mast.

I'd put it all back together in one unit and if it didn't go back on the truck there is always some rig that will need an antenna at some time. Or put it in the 2.00 box for the swap meet.
