Question:
I have installed a 2017 longbed on my 2008 f-250.. Is there a wiring harness available for the swap?

I assume you're referring to a longer wire harness for a 7-way connector so that you can tow a trailer. If this is the case then you'd just use a standard 4-pole connector like # 18252 and splice it into the taillight wiring instead of running it up to the cab/engine bay. From there you can install a 7-way like the # ETBC7 to gain braking functions. It will come with a length of wire to run up to the battery for power and to the cab for a brake controller.
If you're looking for something else then give me some more detail on what you're trying to connect and I'd be happy to look for the correct parts.
