Wiring For A Flat Bed With Aftermarket Lighting On a 2008 Ford F-150
Question:
i am removing the factory bed and installing a flatbed, do you make a pigtail or harness so that i can make the transition to aftermarket rear bed lighting

I only have one recommendation as we do not carry a factory connector for the tail light harness on your 2008 Ford F-150. If your truck has a 7-way you will be able to use the Hopkins Endurance 5th Wheel/Gooseneck 90-Degree Wiring Harness # 41157 to tee off of the 7-way. You will then be able to splice the wiring and wire in Tail Lights # BP53FR and Clearance Lights # M181A.
You will need the 3-Wire Pigtail # A47PB and 2-Wire Pigtail # 421-49 to wire in the tail lights. They will also need a Grommet # a70gb to mount in place on the bed. You will need to determine how much Wire # 16-1-1 you will need to to make all your connections.
You can also ask the flatbed manufacturer is they have any specific harnesses that they use if they come with lights already in the bed.
