replacement park light socket?

[benped]

First time poster here, proud new owner of '67 f100.
Hoping for a hint on the first question of many, I'm sure. I've got a short in my turn signals/brakelights, the mechanic found it in the front right park light socket. Heavily corroded. Any suggestions on where to find a new one that will fit a '67? No luck so far.
Thanks so much.

ebay would be a place to look as well as the parts store but i kind of doubt the parts stores would have a direct replacement. if in real desperate need you could get the guts for a generic trailer light assembly just the guts. spring electrodes and fiber backing plate and install it in place of your current electrodes. and spring assembly. you would have to reuse your current housing i think it could be done. on ebay the only rhing you might find is a entire grill to get the sockets out of. but you might get lucky.

If the 67 and 69 sockets are the same I have an old grille in the back yard. Let me know and I can send you one. Just cover shipping from 28326.

According to LMC trucks they are the same.

Hey, this is the right place to be.
Patrick, let me see if I can clean up and replace the guts in the socket, if I can't get it to work, I'll take you up on your offer.
Cheers.

I went into checker and Autozone here and found a replacement socket that I could force into the hole that the original socket left when I ground it off and it works fine.

Thanks guys.
Cleaned it up and fitted it with new guts, all is well. Let there be light, blinking light.

Cheers.
