Go to your local auto parts store and in the trailer section you'll find a harness that will plug into your truck's harness. Then you'll have to wire that to your body. I doubt anyone will make an adapter to crossover the Dodge to the Chevy, you'd be on your own for that.

If the truck is brand new, there should be a cable in the glove box that plugs into the box under the footwell - this adapts to your choice of brake controllers, don't know if this will power the lights on the box or not. (There was such a plug and cable for my 2002 Tahoe and my 2004 one ton truck)

Know that there's a plug you can get that plugs into the rear harness of the older trucks, like my old 98, that you could use for the box brake and plate lights - not sure 'bout the newer ones.
