Stepside rear taillight connectors. HELP?

[Bobzilla75]

So as I'm finishing up the entire strip down and rewire, I've come to the rear. The American Wiring harness is fantasic, has the nice rubber grommets that the tailights can plug into from the outside. The problem for me is the tail lights have been hacked so many times there is no connector. In fact, there is about 1" of unmolested wire left coming out of the tail light itself.

Where do I find the light side to plug into the stock style connector? I've done so well at this point in making everything "right" that I don't want to hack this last part. Help?

What year? What year tail lights?

I found some old ones at swap meets. Hacked the wires out and rewired them. Good luck

I did mine not to long ago also. You have any pictures of the mess you have now?

[Bobzilla75]

All the mess is gone. I find several pounds of wiring to date that was not connected at either end. The rear taillights had the plastic crinkly wrap that was crumbling covering 3 wires that had 4 butt connectors in a spot about 18" long. The American Auto Wire kit has been fantastic for all the right connectors and all. They included the rubber grommet/connector that goes through the body. But what's not included is the plug from the tail light to that socket. I meant to snag pictures of it last night but got sidetracked at just how sexy it is on those 275's

Glad you got it worked out!

[Bobzilla75]

Oh, I still haven't. I need to find the body to taillight section of this.

[Bobzilla75]

So this is the connector on the body side. from here it goes directly to the tail light. AAW emailed me back. GM apparently didn't release the molds for that end of the connector as it was meant to be sold as part of hte tail light assembly.
