Tail light wiring harness
https://shop.broncograveyard.com/mobile/1980-1986-Ford-F-SeriesTaillight-Wiring-Harness/productinfo/38030/
Has anyone used this harness before? How hard was it to install and did it come with the plug that connects to the harness that runs to the front?

I did not check the link out or used that harness but based on what Dave posted and no plug on it if you need that plug because you cant reuse yours and dont have one to use look into a trailer wiring Tee harness.
It fits between the frame harness and the tail light harness.
It has a male on 1 side and a female on the other and wires to wire up a trailer light plug.
You could plug in the plug that fits the frame harness, cap the other side and splice in the tail light harness wires to the trailer wires.
Or find a male / female water proof trailer plug with the right amount of wires (think 5?) and splice that in to both sides.

I was trying to look at a picture of it from my phone but the picture was too small too tell. I might have to scrounge around the junkyard to find a decent plug and maybe a harness. I was going to get a t connector to plug in to be able to have trailer lights instead of the rats nest raveled cut and jury wrigged into my existing harness. I'm trying to clear and clean up the wiring to make things right and functional

Style side harness on the floor, trailer Tee harness wrapped around hitch.
What was removed and not used.
The made flare side harness. The lights have plugs on them that plug into this harness.
Even had to make the plate light harness
How it sits today
It was not hard and I am sure you could find something in the JY for a style side and use it as is or mod it to work for you.

One of the first things l did when l got my 76 was to excise years of oddball taillight/trailer wiring. I think l got the harness offa ebay... l had to splice it in, not 100% plug-n-play, but if a dope like me can do it l think anybody could.
I'll be looking further into this once again since my "new" 85 is similarly challenged in the wiring department. It's a dam mess.
