Can someone explain Pack-Con connectors?

The squarebody trucks use pack-con for several steering column connectors and a few other places. I'm having trouble identifying the difference between pack-con 1, 2, and 3. I have a number of female connectors that need to be repinned, and maybe a male connector as well.

Can someone tell me what sizes are on these trucks or clue me in on how to identify them?

I think the easiest way to identify them is to measure the width of the male terminals:

Pack-Con I = 3.75mm
Pack-Con II = 5.2mm
Pack-Con III = 5.7mm

The corresponding female terminals are slightly narrower.

A lot of them are becoming obsolete-that is the reason why I substitute some for 280-series metripack.

Or, the minimim buy is so high nobody will stock them. Pack con 2-cavity male connector is one such connector which is on the obsolete list.
