Can't find replacement "lens"

Hey everyone, I've been browsing these forums for a few weeks now reading up on what information I can.

I bought a 1977 Ford F150 a few weeks back that runs great has a smooth body just needs some TLC and I plan on restoring it.

I've replace side views, marker light lenses, tail light lenses etc. but I can't for the life of me find replacement TURN signal lenses for the front of the truck. The kind that are above the head lights, separated by the grill assembly.

Are they called Parking light lenses? I'm confused and please bare with me, I'm very, very new to this.

If anyone could help me find new lenses for my front turn signals I would appreciate it very much.

Thank you for your time.

You mean the ones on the front fenders? Those are sidemarkers.

Here they are on LMC: Truck Parts and Truck Accessories

Hey Devino, thanks for the reply.

No, I have already replaced the side marker lenses, I need the front turn signal lenses. they are directly above the head lights and currently are just a light bulb hanging by wires because there is no lens present.

Oops, brain fart. Forgot the pre-78 turn signals were above the headlights.

Later model E-150 / 250 etc vans use same lense except it's white, not amber .... so use an amber bulb?

I know .... I too prefer the amber lense.

Since these are for a newer model vehicle, they should be easier to find in a local wrecking yard (used), or the local auto parts store (new).

Like mentioned, remember to get the orange bulbs too.
