Expert Reply:
To install a trailer brake controller in your 1984 Chevrolet K20 Pickup you will need the brake controller itself, such as the excellent Tekonsha Primus IQ # TK90160 that you referenced, as well as a brake controller installation kit # ETBC7. If your truck does not already have a working 4-pole flat trailer connector you will also need one those, part # 118311.
Your installation will be a hard-wire type since there is no quick-connect port under the dash. At right you will find links to a video and articles concerning installation of the # ETBC7. These will give you step by step guidance for the installation.
