Mouse chewed 64 truck headlight harness behind firewall

Truck hes been sitting for some time and mice have chewed a section of the headlight wiring from the dash side of the firewall back, about 6 inches, just to where it enters the main harness. So, the wires on the back of the rubber firewall connector are about 1/4 inch long. Rest of the wiring is in good shape. Figured I'd see if anyone has a parts truck who could help with
getting the firewall connector with 6 inches of wiring on the dash side.Thanks

i'm still in need of this... Just updating this thread with a pic of the engine compartment side connector... so I need the dash side connector that would connect to the one in the pic, along with six inches of wiring for the 8 wires that go into the main dash harness. Not sure if other years are same but you should be able to tell by comparing to the pic... I'm ok if rhe wire colors are different... thanks in advance
I need the other half that connects to this, plus enough wiring to do a splice.

If member unable to help, Mac's, has what they describe as Ford pickup truck gauge feed harness for V8 F100, part #: 48-37863-1Alt Part #: C5TZ-14289 ; unfortunately their item description sucks and if consider suggest contact them for clarification!, not clear to me whether it's the harness that links instrument panel gauges to the main harness? I have seen similar/same harness thru other online Ford part supplier's. Price seems reasonable $57? The metal retainers that secure the main wire connector to firewall are available, also suggest applying dab of dielectric grease to each pin and socket.

Anyhow, food for thought??

That looks like it connects to the instruments. Not a bad price at all... Good find.

Dave, thanks for the reply... there are 2 separate harnesses with firewall connectors on the engine side that run to the main dash harness. One is for the headlights and turn signals, the other for the gauges. This appears to be for the guages, which I don't need. But, this makes me think that I should call and see if there is a dash side headlight harness available, cuz I assumed it would just be part of the entire dash harness...I'll uodate this post with my findings...

Mac's does not have a separate headlight harness for the dash side, it's part of the main harness... luckily, member Muppy has what I'm lioking for and I can splice it in... thanks for the replies...
