I notice in the catalogs that there are two types of head light terminal blocks.3 and 4 position.What is the extra position for on the newer trucks? I'am working on a 51" and using the 54' assembly manual.It shows the 4 position, but mine had two 3 positions when I took it apart. Thanks

If you are NOT trying to be period correct, Home Depot sells plastic style terminal blocks that will work and are much cheaper then the those in the truck catalogs.

You can also get terminal blocks that look similar to stock from boat shops like West Marine for less than some "specialty parts", & best part about those is many are made of corrosion resistant materials.


1956 GMC 370 dump " 'Tater "
1970 VW Volksrod "the Black Bomber"
2007 Chevy Avalanche
2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk,
2005 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI

I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion!
