Licence plate light sockets???

I have a 1977 F250 Camper special that I have been working on and for the life if me I can't find new licence plate light sockets that look the same or connect the same. The ones I have on the truck are rusted badly and one broke off when I was trying to take it off. They have a threaded portion that comes straight out of the back of the light with a single wire in the middle of the threaded portion. They have a nut to tighten down the unit! I know I can rig of some Napa stuff but it may be a bit wonky and I would like to avoid that. Any ideas?????

My local autoparts stores have them in either the 'help' or 'bulb' sections...like 3.99 each. If you're worried about them matching, snag 2. They don't have a Ford part number, but they do the job.
