Trailer Wiring?
Does anyone know what wire is what on the trailer wires for a 79 Ford? The wires in the kit and the ones on the original harness dont match. Any input, or should I try the towing section?

Which kit are you talking about ?
Truck wiring is basic as is the trailer.
Is this a 6 wire system or a 4 wire system?
You can wire according to the "standard" way or special to your truck/trailer.
I was going to type out the wiring hook-up for you but

I agree with Lxman, there is no need to cut and splice. Go to the parts store and get a kit that will plug into your taillight harness. Cutting and splicing opens a can of worms for future problems. I can't even count how many pickups I've had to rewire the rear because of someone cutting up the wiring for trailers - when it's not neccessary.

Good point...
What's in your kit? It should have a T shaped connector the plugs into the taillight harness at the rear bumper.
