To convert the 4-way connector on your 1996 Chevrolet C3500 to a 7-way you will need is the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires item # ETBC7. The kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your vehicle with an included bracket. This kit is designed for use on a vehicle with an existing 4-way flat trailer connector and plugs directly into it. You will then connect the blue wire to the blue wire on the brake controller, connect the black wire to the positive post on the vehicle's battery, the white wire to ground, and the yellow wire to vehicle's reverse circuit if applicable. This will provide you with the ability to control your trailer's brakes and also provide you with a 12v power wire for you trailer's accessory lights.

I have a great brake controller for you but you are not going to find a plug in wiring harness for as old of a truck as your driving. The Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Trailer Brake Controller item # 90885 is a proportional brake controller that works with electric or electric-over-hydraulic trailer brakes. I have linked an installation video.
