Anyone out there know of a source for the 1940 truck parking lamp? I've found '36-'38 and '41-'47 and the lens and bezel for the '40 but I can't seem to find the body of the lamp.

I don't know if car and truck are different or exactly what you want, but there are several so called parking lights for 1940 on ebay right now.
