Hi Kevin

At the risk of sounding like a wise guy;

You need an electric brake controller. :)

CCKW's equiped to tow had them they show up for sale now and then.

Good luck

Hope this helps

You need a brake controller like either one of these.

I picked both of those up in a surplus store for $25 a piece plus tax. I sold the left one to John.

Check out this thread for some brake controller talk.

Hi Nick

I haven't put it into service yet.

But I don't anticipate any problems ( since it's NOS )

Thanks again
