Final report re this.  The FLAPS were no help; the connector is an order item 
for everyone (including the Chevy dealer I later found out.)
 
The wires were bitten off too close to the connectors for butts, but I was able 
to scrape enough coating off the wires to get a drop of solder on the wires and 
attach about a 4" pigtail onto each wire.  That is, after I was able to borrow 
a soldering iron, solder and tape from a neighbor down the street.  Twisted the 
pigtail onto the stub from the harness and made it home in good shape.  I've 
ordered a new "factory" connector with pigtails and will install it in place of 
the jury-rigged unit that is now there.
 
I guess all's well that ends well, but it was damn disconcerting under the 
circumstances.
