electric plug
OK, before I spend the rest of my weekend searching with google, can anyone help me with a source for an electric plug.
They've used them in older cars for years, they are the black rubber plug with rounded corners that are always keyed with one opposite connector, IE. a 4 prong would have 3 male and 1 female bullet connector, a 6 prong would have 5 male and 1 female.
Anybody know where to find them???

like the firewall connectors on the 66 F100/250 I think he is referring to , they look like the 4 prong trailer connectors . I have seen them on various electrical supply web sites with different amounts of connectors and arrangements but do not know if they would be a match to our trucks

Sorry guys, got side-tracked. been a busy week.
I'm starting on my cab on my 65 f-100 and plan on doing all the wiring myself.
I'm going to run 2 fuse panels on a flat panel inside the glove box door so everything is accessible and easy to troubleshoot in the future.
I'd like to use those rubber plugs for all the circuits,IE; lights, engine, accessories.
unless some-one has a better suggestion I always liked those rubber plugs, and I've seen them in 2-3-4-6 connector making them ideal for just about anything in the truck.
these are the connectors, but this outfit only has 2 prong.

There are many newer style connectors that are not that expensive, at least in my opinion. They also have benefits, such as the ability to have a weathertight seal, and the option of patching a wire, or to replace an entire individual wire. With the older style you have no choice but to patch, which is not always the best. I also don't ever have problems getting the newer style stuff apart in the junk yard. But if it did break, you can usually find new terminals or housings to get back on the road pretty easily. The older stuff, sometimes it comes apart, sometimes it does not. When it does not, you have to replace the entire terminal and splice 2, 3, 4, 5, ... wires where maybe none were bad. Granted, older stuff has had much more time to corrode and fuse itself together, which is where the newer weathertight stuff pulls ahead.
if you don't like the newer stuff and it just doesn't suit your vision, I completely understand that, too. There is a place for the older style.

Weather Pack and Deutsch come to mind and there are others, I'm sure. Like i say, Google "automotive electrical connectors" and all kinds of stuff will come up.
You could get all of the housings you need at a junk yard. Then you just need terminals for the wiring. That makes it quite cost effective.
A couple links doing that Google search.
