A plastic lens will pass more light than a glass lens FWIW. If the '52 still has the double socket just use a #81 bulb for the tail light and a #1129 for the stop. You'll end up with more brake candle power than an #1154 when tail & brake are both on & dang near as much as the #1157. All that is assuming you're remaining 6v. My 6v tail on the left compared to a modern 12v tail on the right. I use a plastic lens. I would have done the same comparison with the brake but I can't stand on the brakes AND take the picture too. grin
