Expert Reply:

To hardwire a 7-way to your 1995 Ford F-350 you are going to need to use a circuit tester like the very handy Cordless Circuit Tester # PTW2979 and match the wires by function. The cut out I added is of a typical 7-way connector and shows the pin locations you need to wire your connector to.

The reason you need to do this is because wire colors are not universal. Wiring can also be different for years, makes and models of trucks, and the wiring may have been changed over the years by other owners so there are no diagrams available with wiring colors and their functions.

I have added a link to a help article on wiring for you to take a look at which I strongly recommend reading.
