Headlight Foot Dimmer switch wire pigtail?

Howdy folks! does someone make a replacement for the three-wire pigtail / partial harness, with the three-position connector for the foot operated headlight dimmer? Mine (in my 72 Blazer) is a crispy melted and rusty mess:

I think I've seen them in the "Help" section of the parts store. I believe there are two styles to fit two different dimmers. As I recall I believe I may have changed the dimmer switch to match the plug I found.

Try American Autowire. I think they reproduce them.

All Vehicles > CHEVROLET > 1972 > K10 PICKUP > 5.7L 350 cubic inch V8 > Electrical-Connector > Dimmer Switch Connector
Found it at rock auto...they have a couple different ones. Depends on whether you want to spend $2 or get the other one for $3!

Good you found one. I was going to say painless has most of
The original connectors as well. Not sure if they sell separate
From the kit But they claim all original Connectors to keep stock components.
