Expert Reply:
The Curt Spectrum brake controller part # C51170 is a great brake controller that will work well in your 1988 Chevy 1500 with a 4-way but you will need the part # ETBC7 to convert to a 7-way and wire in the controller. This kit comes with everything needed to make the conversion and wire in the controller.
