Check inside your fuel filler door. You'll either be missing something (not really possible) or see where one just like it is. Most likely somebody set it down in your bed and forgot about it. Could have been a minor repair of "in transit" damage.

Actually, now that I think about it, I think it may be the jig they use to hold the fuel filler door when the vehicle gets painted.

The round part is 7" across. I cant find anywhere on the truck it might fit.

its painted so it was on there when the truck was painted.

Likely a parts holder for other painted parts that's discarded during the assembly process. Probably missed the bin.

It belongs to the fuel door, I assume for painting or it's the bracket used for the mold.

That holds the fuel filler door through the paint booth. I'm not exactly sure on the F150 where it's placed, but I know on the Mustang it clips inside the drivers door and the fuel door is suspended in the window opening. Somebody in Final forgot to set it aside to be reused.

It's a cellphone antenna booster array that will pass airport x-ray (cuz its plastic) so you can use it on the plane.

Don't buy that? Okay - it's this:

I thought it was a drone frame used by the NSA.
