1977 F150 brake control
I'm looking to wire my 77 with a trailer brake control and a 7 pin hook up. Any instruction or direction to instructions are greatly appreciated.

You should wire it essentially the same as shown here:
(phone app link)
Swap to a HD (or solid-state) turn flasher, and use standard practices for splicing & fusing the new circuits. Power & ground circuits should be 8-12ga; lighting circuits should be 14-18ga. Use industry-standard colors as described in this caption using US-made colored/striped wire from Amazon/eBay/etc.:

Thanks Steve83. The problem I have is I can't expand the photos. Could you provide the link? From what I can see that its exactly what was looking for.
Thanks!

The links are the text below the thumbnails. If clicking the thumbnail doesn't open a new tab/page, click the link text below instead.

One suggestion although you might have already thought of it is to buy some wire loom to run the wiring in. Not only does it make for a neater job but makes it easier to route everything from the front of the truck to the back. Also don't forget a relay and circuit breaker for the 12V aux line if you plan to use it.
