Question:
I have an 05 ford f-150 with an aftermarket hitch and a 4 pin connector. There is a brake controller plug under the dash, however there is no harness ran to the back of the truck for a trailer brake controller. Can you please tell me what Id need to complete the conversion to 7 pin w/ brake controller. Part #s ETBC7, 10-2-1, C51322 and CURT controller C24VV are what I think I will need. Please advise if I am correct or missing any items for this conversion. Thanks!

Looks like you have been doing a bit of homework!
Since you already have the factory 4-Way connector installed on your 2005 Ford F-150, the Universal Installation Kit # ETBC7, some extra wire found in kit # 10-2-1, and the Curt TriFlex Trailer Brake Controller # C24VV with the Adapter # C51322 is exactly what you need.
I have attached some sample installation videos as well as a helpful article on installing the ETBC7 kit for you to check out.
