I am buying/bought a truck and trailer out of town(2 different locations). The truck has 2 female screw on couplers end dump style. Trailer has a male and female quick coupler. What do I need to do to make this work? I am flying In and will not have any tools and will be limited to what I buy. Pics attached

Figure out which type of coupler you want to keep, then the other pull off the couplers and getting the proper male/female coupler to match instead of trying to convert one type to the other. All you need then is 2 wrenches to change.
If your never going to have an enddump get rid of the screw locks
You need to also establish that one of the hoses on the truck is just a return line if the truck is currently set up for a side dump this may not matter as either line can be a pressure line depending on witch way you throw the valve

Unless you want to try the trailer, why can't you just wait until you get them home? unless the trailer is not configured for transport, or it is a float and you need hydraulics to hook up. The seller must have a truck with a wetline to help out.
