Default power window plug

I am replacing the power window motor in my passenger door (in a 75) and the plug is missing from the harness, Bubba had hooked the wires directly up to the terminals on the motor plug. Does anyone no where I can get this plug/pigtail? I'm not having much luck searching the net and I don't want it Bubba rigged like it was and don't want to buy the entire power window harness. Thanks for your help guys!!!

Default plug

I think you might be able to find this at one of the many vendors for corvette parts ; Mid America etc. If not probably the plug was generic to many GM vehicles.
Good luck

You can buy the plugs with a 6" pigtail on them from Corvette America.

A lot of GM vehicles from the 70's-early 80's used the same power window motor. The dealer might even still have the plug you need, or snag one on your next trip to the wrecking yard

Good luck, no vendor that I know of makes the 68-75 pigtail. I just bought a pair from forum member "vettesplus" you can see if he has some more

And you'll notice people will tell you that a "vendor carries these", if they don't mention an exact part number they are most likely referring to the 68-82 PW motor plug adapter

That converts a stock 68-75 PW motor plug (if you still have it attached) to work with 76-82 PW motors.

It's just a 68-75 female to a 76-82 male. It would work perfect for someone with a later C3 that has thier ends cut off but not vice-versa.

Thanks for all your replies guys, I finally did find one at Ecklers after doing several searches, I will check the other places too for price. The motor is due in tomorrow, so I figured I better wait till it got here so I knew for sure if it was the t style plug or not. Thanks again!!
