Pickup to Flatbed change wiring question

Hello,

First time poster and question. I did a search but I could not find my answer it could be there but!

I have a 1994 F350 XLT dually. I am changing the bed to a flatbed. I purchased a flatbed from wrecker and the wiring was chopped to pieces. This bed has side lights and 7 lights across the back 2 each side and 3 center lights as the bed exceeds 80". I am looking for a harness to wire all the lights into the OEM Plug. Anyone know where to start looking for such a harness?

Thanks For Any Information IA

Welcome to FTE !

Are there any truck body manufacturers in your area? The type of outfit that does 1 tons & bigger with flatdecks & other bodies?

I have wired several trucks and trailers. I have found that it is much cheaper to make a wiring harness yourself than it is to buy them. You could probably find the harness if the manufacturer of the body is still in business. My opinion, get some solderless connectors and some shrink wrap and make a harness. You can use your plug off of your dually bed so it plugs right in.

I will have to check on the trailer bed compaines. I know that they are in the Sacramento area I just never had a reason to find out in the past.

Thank You both for the response.
