What is this missing connector called?

So I have a 76 K5 that I'm going through and rewiring myself stubbornly instead of spending the $$$ on a painless harness (I call it my painful harness :haha:) and I got the bright idea to swap in an ATO fuse block from a later model truck from this guy: http://www.rowand.net/Shop/Tech/GMATOStyleFuseBlock.htm

I noticed it had provision for 2 circuit breakers I'd like to use for power windows/seats, so I pulled one out of a C70 Kodiak at the junkyard, but mine looks like it's missing some sort of tap connector to be able to use the top circuit breaker (specifically something for the big square hole on the right, I know where to find the pack-con connector for the left).

Mine:

His examples:

Any idea what that's called or where I can find such a connector (some delphi part I assume)? Of course I'm having a hell of a time finding a wiring diagram for medium duty trucks, lol.
 
Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything on their site, but I did notice their fuse blocks have the same cavity, so I sent them an email hoping they have the connectors or at least a lead on them.
 
oreilys had those dont know what there called but take your pic and ask em"I need the thing that plugs in here"
worked for me
 
American Autowire responded and the guy said neither he nor his senior tech had ever seen anything in that spot in any application.

Finally think I found something from a wiring diagram off a 1980 truck. The circuit breaker it's attached to ran the power windows.

Aptiv/Delphi part# 12004029 translates to "Automotive Connectors CONN 1 F PAC/ON III BLK" which sounds about right. Too bad nobody has any stock of them :frown

You might find one at a salvage yard off a donor vehicle..bring wire cutters!..

Yeah, I was hoping to avoid splicing wires as I have the crimpers to do everything, but that may not be avoidable it seems. Mouser had them listed as "Not Stocked/Call for Quote" so I had them get me a quote from the mfg. (Aptiv) for a handful of them, but I doubt they'll go for it in such small quantities. At least I know what vehicles they came in now next time I head to the junkyard, lol
 
Just an update for posterity sake, I pulled the connector out of a s10 blazer at LKQ with power windows and this is what it looks like up close. No identifiable markings. Can't find anything that looks like it in any of the Delphi/Aptiv catalogs :dunno: oh well, guess I'll splice into it for my power windows/locks.

un-solder that and solder the new wire in. good find. prob only way to get is the loom for power windows, no longer available i bet.
 
oreilys has em dont know the name but i ordered 2 of those from them just have to look it up in the book
