I've been looking for terminals online for a couple of days now. I must be using the wrong search terms because I can not find anything that remotely resembles what I need. I've been using terms like flat, blade, connector, pins, terminal, auto, automotive, wire harness.
Are these things called something specific? Or would the dealer have them? I'd prefer to overspend at this point than keep searching.

Check out these guys. You may have to order individual pieces that you need...... I can't come up with a kit on a quick search that will cover all of your needs.

It ended up being too difficult to find new pins so we ended up using one of the old pins as a pigtail. We used a non insulated butt connector with shrink tubing. Got myself a good pair of channel lock crimpers and the connection is nice and tight.
In the end we only had to move 1 pin. The high beam circuit. There were a couple of other questionable ones but they had to do with fog lights which this truck doesn't have. Now everything works as it should. Thanks for everyone's guidance on this and talking us down from replacing the dash again.
