If your truck does not have the U.S. style car connector, you would need to splice in the Fifth Wheel and Gooseneck Pigtail Harness, # 20023, in order to add a 7-pin connector to the bed of your truck.

- Thank you for providing a photo of the wiring harness you need for your 1997 Ford F-350 heavy-duty diesel truck.

The 7-pole harness with the two-plugs on the vehicle side is not available as an aftermarket item; you will need to visit your Ford dealer for an OEM replacement.
For reference I have linked a page showing all accessory items for your truck.

Your included photo (thank you) suggests that you have perhaps 3-inches of clearance between the tops of the bed rails and the bottom of the trailer's nose, which is a little less than what we recommend. The linked diagram shows the usual recommended minimum clearance for trailers.
But if you have had no clearance issues and simply want...
