I used new lights for a newer Chev truck. They look very similar. I think they are TF parking lights.

There was a thread about similar bezels being used on some 1960's Chevrolet back-up lights a long while back. I apologize I don't remember exactly what years they were.

Apparently the gm used the same bezels on corvettes from 53 -62 so I'm going to give that a try and see

Don't know what size your lights are, you haven't
posted anything but these are 3 1/4". Might stick out
a bet further than the original lens but might look ok.

Had a friend at one time with a similar problem, think
he finally found some used ones. Have you tried the
Swap Meet forum?

I do belive the bezels need to be three inch cause 2 5/8 was about 1 inch to small
