    What you need is a good picture of one. I looked at Perry's truck and got a lense from Glen Johnson and went on the hunt. It took a while but I found three lenses and two complete lights at the swap meets and I paid no more than $5 a piece. (Pomona and San Diego) The lights for the truck were used on other cars (Jeep, I think) and trucks as well and there may have been a cheap version made for trailers that does not have the chrome bezel around the lense.



    One of the lights is very rusted so I am still on the look for others, but they are out there. Bill also has one on his truck you can look at. I have two lights on my truck which are very close but not quite right. When I find two good ones I will replace the lights but until then they work and no one but a expert knows the differance and the important thing is I can drive it. I drive it to Pomona almost every swap meet.

    Thanks Jay, I do have the lense and bezel just looking for the housing now. When I went out to see Bill he did not have one at that time, he has had almost everything else I have needed, a great source. I have also found that the Pomona swap meet is a lot of walking around for almost nothing in my Hudson needs.
