65 c10 harness plugs
So, I am rebuilding my truck and installing a new wiring harness. I cut the hacked up harness at the plugs leaving about a couple inches of wire so I could reuse the original plastic plugs the wire crimp connectors go into.
I didnt think it was going to be quite as hard to find replacement plug pins or the information as to what crimp connectors they used or ones to buy for that matter. I did come across the ones to get but it was for a brief second between trees to be cut down at work and when i went back on my phone to look at them better/buy.... the page and all the info was as if it was never there. I can't quite wrap my head around it or why but it is kinda par for the course in my life. Muse be a curse of some sort but it happens quite a bit the older I seem to get lol Does anyone know what I need to buy aka name of plug crimp connections, where to find them, or can hook me up with a link, or part numbers, anything? Just to get me back on course of this truck please? I am looking for like a kit if possible for the whole truck from bumper to bumper. I have a universal wiring harness I got for a song that my cousin wasn't going to use on his 55 Chevy and he got it on sale I believe so it is a wiring harness in all sense of the word no plugs included just a fuse box and wiring. I'm stuck and at a halt till it can be finished. Everything is all laid out in the old hot rod truck from the ignition system, efi, to all the race electronics needed for the thing to go fast once again in all her glory Thanks for reading, Soda Can Dan |

I intend to use American Auto Wire. It seems really complete, all-in-one sort of thing.

I say thank you, that's also interesting for me, I also have the Hotrod wiring harness from Speedway and wanted to use the original plugs. Top

American Autowire also carries most of the original type connectors used in a factory harness. Look through the link to find what you need. Keep in mind that the terminals have a tang on them that you need to push down from the top with a very small screwdriver or the like. Think of it like a spring loaded finger that holds the terminal inside the plug. See the attached in the middle of the back of the terminal. |
