What is the difference? ...
(Other than one extra terminal)
Thanks,

High beams, low beams, and parking lights. 4 terminal strips could be used for turn signals (dual filament bulbs in the parking lights.) Don't know if some (later?) trucks came with 4-terminal strips. [on edit] Apparently 54-55 1st came with one of each. Don't know what the extra terminal was for. Link[on edit again] Found a '54 wiring diagram. the 4th terminal was for the horn. (mounted behind the grille?)

The 4th terminal is for the horn, which got moved "up front" in 1954. 1954 truck wiring diagram/information. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | I was editing when Kevin "beat me to it".

You beat me to a link earlier today. So as far as I know (at least for today) were tied at 1 each.
