Hey Michael!

There is not a plug-and-play wiring harness for your 1996 Ford F-350. Instead, you will have to use a universal harness like the Curt Curt Powered Tail Light Converter with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C59236 for your 4-flat connection, and then use that connection to convert to a 7-way with our Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller - 7-Way RV and 4-Way Flat - 10 Gauge Wires # ETBC7.

If you'd also like a 7-way in the bed, that will need to be custom wired by branching off the rear 7-way wiring, since there isn't a plug-and-play in-bed harness made for your truck. You can splice into your #ETBC7 connection and connect all of the wires separately to a receptacle like Pollak 7-Way Blade Connector w/ Bracket - Vehicle End # PK36AV. With this method, you'll need to test each wire for its function, splice in 12 Gauge 7 Conductor Jacketed Wire - Per Foot # DW04914-1, and use Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 12-10 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Yellow - Qty 10 # DW05745-10 on each connection. From there, you will have your own custom in-bed harness.

What are you towing from the bed of your F-350s- gooseneck, fifth-wheel, or something else? Do any of the trucks have a factory connection?
