'53 Parking Light Question
Hello to all! Well, I ordered two parking light lenses and gaskets...problem is they are way too small and do not come close to fitting. What year parking light housings are these? The truck is a '53 but I'm not thinking it's parking lights are correct.

That is a 55 or 56 parking light.
