Tail light harness

My 78 f250 the p.o cut off my tail light wiring when he put the flatbed on. Since putting a new box on my truck i purchased a tail light harness. Can someone post a picture of where this harness connects to? I dont see any connecters at the rear of my truck. Only cut wires. I plan to install one of those direct fit trailer light harness that utilize the oem connecter but i think my truck is missing this connecter.

Here's a little clearer picture, this is the driver's side at the rear of the frame.

You might consider replacing the whole harness. It plugs into the main harness in the engine compartment and runs along the driver's side frame rail till it terminates at the rear of the truck. Not really that hard to replace and you would avoid splicing the harness.
