I am trying to get my tail lights wired up so I can finally drive my truck today for the first time, but I have a problem. I have the wires from the tail lights going all the way up to the cab, but I don't remember where they plug into the cab. I can't find a connector like the one coming from the tail lights anywhere. It was four years ago that I took it apart and took pictures of everything but that pretty much...
Any description of where it plugs in or pictures would be helpful. It's a 1972 C20 350 auto. Thanks

Re: Where do I find these....
Yeah, the hole is there...but there is no connector there. Even under the dash I don't see anything. Any idea where it's supposed to splice in to the rest of the wiring? I may just have to hardwire....

Re: Where do I find these....
Should be a small round plug with 4 connectors (2 horizontal, 2 vertical) and it should be hanging under the dash. I can take a picture of the plug today if you need it..

Re: Where do I find these....
If I'm not mistaken it goes in the hole that you have the clear tubing running thru

I found the problem... I had the speedo cable in the hole for the wires... I ran the speedo to the correct hole near the master cylinder(it fits much better, I'm an idiot...). The wires were jammed back behind the firewall heat/sound material. Thanks for the quick replys...

Re: Where do I find these....
just a reminder to install a ground strap between bed and frame so your lights will work

Re: Where do I find these....
Yep, definately need those. When I bought me '68 20 years ago, Bubba had a ground prob and drove nails between the box and frame to solve it.
