What’s this connector called? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Digging into my truck and pretty sure I found out why my temp gauge doesn’t work.
I found the whole plug online with the connectors, but does anyone know what the connector on the end of the wire is called that goes into this plug and if they can be purchased individually somewhere?

Other vendors may also have them.

Check other vendors. The connector isn't in Classic Industries' stock yet.. Says, "arriving soon"

I think I bought mine from Classic Industries, but the tag on the part bag said Ron Francis Wire Works.
You can try them direct:

That's just the plastic connector/terminal holder that clicks into the back of the dash panel. You have to transfer the terminals yourself. Cost me about $16 or 17 bucks last year.

What's it called? Dash Panel Terminal Connector is my best guess...

NAPA carries a good selection of other specialty crimp connectors they may have those. Also M&H wiring harnesses is usually good about selling connectors and their components.

Happy to help.
A lot of parts had several applications among Detroit makes. Why re-invent the Wheel?

Not sure if you know so thought I would mention: Terminal number 5 is normally empty. It is for the temp light, which is not normally connected on a truck with gauges. Terminal 6 green wire is for the temp gauge.
