trailer plug help

early goose season is here and i need to have lights on my trailer and i dont want to cut into the truck harness to put my plug on. Does any company make a plug in harness like the newer trucks or do i have to cut and solder in my plug?? truck is a 77 F-150

A trailer store should have an adaptor that goes between the main harness at the back of the frame and the bed harness.

I was interested in one, but not interested in the $50 price tag at the time.
