Can anyone tell me did this truck come with colored running lights and where can I get the colored plastic piece?

Presumably, you are referring to the front parklamps, which, I think, would have had clear lenses. Parklamps were used to indicate that you were parked (and were not to be used when running/driving). That is why the front parklamps turn off when you pull the light-switch full-out (and the headlamps come on). Here are amber lenses. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | Amber lenses were not used in any '50s vehicle. I personally think they look goofy with them. But it's your truck. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 56 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 56 | Yes front parking lamps is what I have and they are clear. I'll just put back together with the clear lense. Someone at some time had put these plastic yellow things behind lens for looks I guess.
