If you are looking for pin-outs of try a Google search. I'm not sure if you will find the military pin-out but for sure you will find everything else and probably the military pin-out as well. If not you can always just meter or use a test light on your vehicle.

The loom is accessible behind the right hand side rear of the seat box behind the light cover. Each wire should be labeled and if you have a military manual this will identify the wires.

If you cant find it let me know and i will send it to you.

You, use Google. You need an adapter (available at any auto parts store) as the NA trailer use one wire for two purposes and you need the adapter to prevent the power backfeeding.
