So during my restoration this item was found in the glove box. I cleaned it up, detailed it but have no idea where it goes or what its for.

Anti-theft peg. Mounts on the inside of the tailgate to prevent people from opening the tailgate without unlocking and opening the liftgate.

Should have a backing plate with captive nuts that goes inside the tailgate.

And that's pretty much the disease we all have in a nutshell! We have so much fun restoring things that we do it even before we even know what it's for!
