Post a "wanted" ad in the parts wanted section of the site. There are multiple parts hoarders on the site that will be able to help you out

 

I bought mine from American Autowire. Appears to be an exact repop of the original but rather expensive. I believe the fuse box and main harness are all one piece. If yours is all rusted I'd say replace it.

 

Correct. The terminals in the fuse box are crimped directly to the wires in the main dash harness. You can't replace it without cutting and splicing every wire. You can buy the terminals separately and replace them one at a time, but that's pretty time consuming. Alternately the entire dash harness gets replaced.

By the way, if the terminals are rusted, the rust likely came from a leak at the base of the windshield caused by the dreaded pinchweld rust. Remove the stainless trim at the base of the windshield and prepare for the worst.
