The '37 did not have terminal blocks. The 3 wires to the headlight (high beam, low beam and parking light) terminate in a metal connector that plugs into the headlight bucket. I was missing these pieces when I purchased my truck. On the advice of someone familiar with a similar system in Model A Fords, I eliminated the metal connector and hard wired the headlights, leaving a foot long loop of each wire coiled in the bucket, in case the bucket needed to be removed and the wires cut, in the future. The connector is a source of trouble due to corrosion and poor contact leading to dim or non functional lights.

I have seen the connectors twice on Ebay in the past 4 years, so they are uncommon and no one makes a reproduction that I am aware of.
