7 pin trailer connector harness

I'm working on cleaning up the trailer harness on my 95 f250. I cut out all the crap the PO had installed. Forunantly the two factory connectors are still intact. I've searched for bit and can't seem to find an aftermarket 7 pin trailer socket that will work with the factory connectors. I did come across a few factory Ford peices on eBay but they are quite pricey for what they are. https://www.ebay.com/itm/182109387973
for example. Says for 96, but should work, however I would rather not spend $140. Maybe numberdummy can come up with the one that is called for a 95. Any aftermarket solutions out there?
I tried my local Pick n Pulls with no avail.
Thanks.

Forgot to add that I found a harness engeneering number on the cobbled together mess. F4tb-13a409-ba if anyone could cross that I'd appreciate it.

I dealt with the same thing when I bought my 93. I just cut the factory connection off and ran new wires for brakes and 12 volt and soldered wires on for a new universal plug. I searched everywhere for the factory type plug but could never find anything reasonably priced.

Honestly, your best bet is to cut off the 92-97 2 connectors and hard wire a 99+ plug on.

I bought a universal trailer plug at autozone and wired it into the original connectors with no problems.

Found a factory 7 pin at the junkyard with a broken plug. Kept the two factory harness connectors, and spliced in a new 7 pin/4 pin plug.
