if you want to be lazy or need it fast, you can probably get a plug that converts for you. we had to do that once when we borrowed a friend's older trailer and tried to plug it into the brand new controller on daddy's expedition.
although i'd actually been meaning to ask yall anyways if a brake controller can be a do-it-yourself project. i need one...

"this information is from a plug manufacture"
all of the new plugs I have installed recently have the wire color printed on the back side of the plug where the wire goes in.

You really have no need to convert to a 7 pin. Unless, you are running electric brakes and an auxillary circuit. Mine came factory with a 7 pin. when you buy the connector it should come with a diagram on how to wire it.

Some of our trucks came with the traler brake adapter in the glove box (Below). It plugs into a connector under the dash. You wire it to the Brake controller of your choice. If you don't find the harness in the glove box you can get it at most trailer outlets or here: Trailer hitch, hitches and bike rack (800)298-8924 for $10 + S&H.
You might need to add 2 solenoids in the power distribution box under the hood.
The rear harness can be a plug and play. Most auto part stores carry them. You simply unplug your brake/tail light wire harness under the rear of the truck and plug in the adapter....done!
