fuse box in my 76 (glass fuses) looks to have what could be male blade terminals for a number of circuits. Is that essentially what they are? Can they be simply tapped into with a female connector?

Yes they can. Just check first if they are 12v switch or constant

May be what you're looking for if wanting to plug into the available option connections in the front of the fuse block:

I had an old '77 CJ5 a few years back with that same fuse block. It had some damaged areas due to overheating and lots of rusted connections. Got a used wiring harness from a newer model with the spade type fuses (ATO fuses) and put it right in without issue. I recall paying about $50 for it on eBay. Way cheaper than a new Painless or other brand harness, although those new harnesses are a great way to go if willing to spend the money in them.
