Helpful Expert Reply:
Yes, the Curt Class V trailer hitch you referenced, part # C15300, is a confirmed fit for your 1979 Ford F-150 long bed with standard or step bumper and 37-1/2-inch wide frame. Installation will require some drilling and temporary removal of the spare tire. An install video is linked for you.
For a wiring harness you can use Draw-Tite # 18252 which provide a 4-pole flat trailer connector for your trailer lights.
A great option in a ball mount kit is item # EBMK2416 which includes a ball mount with 3-inch rise or 4-inch drop, two hitch balls, a pin and clip, all together in a handy tote bag. Please see the inked video.
