To install a brake controller in your 1964 Chevy C/K Series pickup, you will need the install kit # ETBC7, the 4-pole trailer connector kit, part # 18252, and a brake controller.

While we offer many different brake controllers, I would recommend the proportional-type controller by Tekonsha, the Prodigy P2, part # 90885. This proportional controller has an internal sensor that can detect how quickly and at what intensity the tow vehicle is braking, and will send the appropriate amount of voltage to the trailer brakes so that both the vehicle and trailer stop at the same rate. This leads to a more efficient, safe and predictable braking action.

The Brake Controller Install Kit, part # ETBC7 includes everything necessary to install the controller in your truck.

We have several online resources that will walk you through the install process which I have linked to elsewhere on the page.
