A quick check found these are available at PB's, OR's, Napa & ADV:

Look closely at your links and you will see 2 digit number on the plastic collar (e.g. 14,16,18). That is the AWG size of the copper conductors inside the insulation. I am almost positive the one connected to the firewall JB is a 16 AWG wire. So, assuming I am remembering right and reading this picture correctly:

and it
is a 16 AWG link, we can also figure out the sizes of the links located at the solenoid by consulting the wiring diagram.
But look, somebody already did it for us:

I found that on another Chevy truck thread that I know and trust, so you can feel confident that the link sizes are correct. BTW - below is the thread's original post. You should read it:
I have a 1980 k10 silverado that I put a new 350 in and got all the electrical hooked up and went to hook the battery up and was in a hurry to get the truck started and hooked the battery up backwards. I put negative cable on postive bat post and pos cable on neg post. When I did that up on the firewall above the driver side valve cover something smoked. I have looked on here and got an idea that it might be a terminal block? Is that correct? So what I did is got the battery hooked up right and the truck didnt start not even any lights in the dash. What could be the problem? Someone told me to check fusable links and if not that check what smoked on the firewall which i believe might be termianl block. I am not very good with automotive electrical so thought I would get answers from people on here. Hope someone can help me.
Back to me.
A fusible link is just an undersized length of wire with special insulation that is designed to puff up as an indication the copper conductors inside it have burned. Read on for more info on fusible links:
In addition to circuit breakers and fuses, some circuits use fusible links to protect the wiring. Like fuses, fusible links are "one-time" protection devices that will melt and create an open circuit.
Not all fusible link open circuits can be detected by observation. A blown link often, but not always, has "bubbly" appearing insulation making troubleshooting easier. Always inspect that there is battery voltage past the fusible link to verify continuity.
Fusible links are used instead of a fuse in wiring circuits that are not normally fused, such as the ignition circuit. For AWG sizes (wire gauges), each fusible link is four wire gauge sizes smaller than the wire it is designed to protect. For example: to protect a 10 gauge wire, use a 14 gauge link (or for metric, to protect a 5mm wire, use a 2mm link). Links are marked on the insulation with wire-gauge size because the heavy insulation makes the link appear to be a heavier gauge than it actually is. The same wire size fusible link must be used when replacing a blown fusible link.

Choose the shortest length that is available. A fusible link should NEVER be longer than nine inches. Fusible links longer than this will not provide sufficient overload protection.
To replace a damaged fusible link, cut it off beyond the splice. Replace with a repair link. When connecting the repair link, strip the wire and use staking-type pliers to crimp the splice securely in two places. To replace a damaged fusible link which feeds two harness wires, cut them both off beyond the splice. Use two repair links, one spliced to each wire harness.
