The Bargman 7 ways are either a 2" or 2 1/4" hole... I believe it is the later...

Drill a hole into a piece of wood before you do your truck. This way you can check to see if it fits.

It's 2".

Yep, actually drove to all of these places---in the last eight years. Missed Rhode Island and New Jersey.

Post for plug in bed:

You can use the plug at the bumper with an extension cord. No need to drill large holes in the truck bed. Ford truck bed is a double wall and the cord runs inside the walls. You may need to undo one end connector to pass thru the hole in the truck bed wall and the bracket. Cable is color-coded to match the marked connectors. Easy to reassemble.

1 male connector
1 female connector
1 8' 7 conductor cable
1 mounting plate
About $30.00 total

You can buy an extension for about $25.00 terminated with the right connector on each end. You may need to remove one end for lacing the wire.

Extension cable:

Bracket here:

If you tow any kind of utility trailer with brakes, the connector is still at the bumper for use.

Check MY PICTURES below. I ran my plug from under the truck and up through the driver side rear taillight and into the bed.
Take a look. It worked out real well.

Be safe. Bigdon68
