Does anybody know where to get the plugs for the tail lights into the bed side for a 1979 stepside?

Thanks

They're molded connectors.
Harnessworx (gmachinz) is a vendor. He may reproduce them.

You can upgrade to the 1984+ 4 position Weatherpack plugs. The GM schematics show the connectors and pinouts.
I have a Mouser project with all the connector parts that totals @ $22 without shipping. This is the BOM export.

Will these plug into the existing holes in the fender?

Unfortunately no. You need the molds to do that.
If you can salvage the pigtails off the old lights you can solder and heatshrink them to the new lamps.
