Silver box on rear cross member

What is it. Whoever took off the flatbed cut the gooseneck hitch Off and burned through the wires in the frame rail. So I'm having to rewire all that before I put my bed on.

What's the silver junction box on the rear cross member has some wires coming in and out of it. Any help and is it on lmc if mines dead?

Thanks
Larry

It sounds like it might be an electrical junction box that was put on by whatever conversion company put the gooseneck hitch and flatbed on the truck.

Agreed, but just checking.

You should just need the 4 wires along the frame to the tail lights. No need for the box any more unless you plan on having a trailer plug in the bed.
