1936 pickup

Im working on a 36 pickup (Model 68?) with a 48 flathead. Its an older restoration and i need to replace most (all) of the wiring harness. As you can imagine someone along the line took some short cuts so Im guessing a bit on a few of the connections. Does anyone know if this model had a switch or a dimmer for the instrument lights? Its indicated in one of the schematics that I found and there are bulbs on the speedo but its not clear where they connect.

Not sure how different your earlier truck would be but this diagram for my '46 shows a rheostat in the upper right corner.
