Question:
I have a 1978 Chevy Scottsdale 4x4 pick up w/ 8 foot bed. I want to wire it for a Tekonsha P-3 trailer brake controller which will be shared w/ another truck. It currently does not have any type of trailer plug, so I also need a 7 way plug. What parts/ kits do I need. Thanks.

First, you will need to install a 4-Way trailer connector, # 118311. I have included a link to the instructions for you. Next, you will need a 4 and 7 way installation kit, # ETBC7. This will provide the 7-Way and the wiring to install the brake controller. I have included some links that will help with the ETBC7 installation.
You will also need a second cradle and mounting bracket for the second vehicle, # TK5906. And you will need another wiring harness for the second vehicle. Depending on what the vehicle is there may be a specific harness for it. Otherwise you can use # 7894.
