Sorry I couldn't comment earlier--I didn't even see this thread until I
spotted the image on Brickshelf while browsing your fantastic fire engine
models. To answer your question, Frank is indeed correct--it's TYCO. I have
about 25 of these pieces, and they also come in 1x4 in the same "backless"

regarded as the only "worthy" clone brand, since the plastic was nearly equal
to LEGO.
If you'd like, I can look a little further and try to find at least one
example of a TYCO set in which this part was found. Let me know if you'd be
interested in more info.
Dave!
