tail light socket

I thought I had bought a tail light socket for my 1977 F-150 but cannot find the part number (Dorman I think). My 1974 F-100 also needs a tail light socket - would anyone know the part number for the tail light socket?

thanks-

If it's a late '74 it'll be the same as the '77. If it's an early '74 the socket is metal and crimped to the metal taillight housing and not replaceable, you have to replace the entire housing.
