Kidding aside, how long is the cable? , That can give a roundabout to where it leads to. The head part looks dash mount. PTO maybe?

Re: What is this part?

That looks like a remote adjustment cable. Turn the "dial" and pull the cable in small increments.

Re: What is this part?

I'm going to guess rear seat heat/AC for a Suburban. Looks distinctly heater related, but isn't part of the normal setup, and is knob rather than level driven.

Looks like a manual throttle cable to me also, one you could use for manual cruise control like when you are herding sheep or cattle in the pasture to keep from getting the yips on the foot throttle.

Re: What is this part?

Some Step Vans used a control like that for a heater control. It would make a good hand throttle.
