Question:
i have the factory ford 7 pin in the bed for the gooseneck, but i do not have a plug on the bumper, so by using this connector i will have lights, but is there another connector for the trailer brakes in order to have brakes at the plug in the bed and on the bumper?

If you have a fully functioning 7-Way in the bed of your 1995 Ford F-350 then you should be able to simply use a tee connector like the Curt # C56000 to tee into the US Car Connector behind the 7-Way for your gooseneck. You can use the attached picture and a circuit tester # PTW2993 to make sure you have all of the functions. You will need to use the manual override from your brake controller to make sure that the brake controller is sending power back to the 7-Way.
It is possible that someone only ran lighting functions to the bed of your pickup so if that is the case then you can use the linked article to locate the wiring along the driver's side frame rail. There should be an orange wire with the 12V power and a blue wire for the electric brakes. If you have blunt cut wires on the 7-Way from your bed then you can connect these appropriately. Otherwise you can use the Tow Ready # 20024 to splice the wiring together and then use the tee mentioned above so you have a 7-Way both at the rear of your vehicle and in the bed.
This means that you can then use an adapter for your brake controller like the part # 3035-P you would use for the Primus IQ # TK90160.
