The pictures will show my problem. The 60 truck has two plastic connectors that go through the firewall. I do not want to destroy anything even though I plan on replacing them.... So, what is the proper procedure to remove these connectors??? Does the plastic come out of the rubber molding or???? Do you pull it into the cab or out through the engine bay???
I believe, after unplugging the mating connector, you can try pushing the connector out first, then the grommet.........from the outside. I have a 60 and have done it but can't remember right now. Seems like the outside lip folds back into the hole easily.
You should have a 6 pin and a 9 pin. You can reuse the connector shell. New contacts are available as are the grommets.

Those GM connectors have a small prong on the back side, you use a small flat blade screwdriver to depress and they slide out. Make sure you mark them all first. When you reassemble you bend it back up and reinsert them.
Took the quick way and just sliced the grommets.... NO secrets to these now. They were pressed in 60 years ago when they were flexible. Rubber was now too hard to get any flex and push back out through the hole.
I will go with the suggestion of replacing with new. Lots of corrosion in the Beast. thanks for input
