Hey Josh, for a brake controller for your 1996 Chevy K1500 the Prodigy P2 part # 90885 would be a great option that will work really well and is very reliable. To install it you'd just need the part # ETBC7 which comes with everything needed to convert your 4-way to a 7-way and also wire in the brake controller.
