original blue dot tailight
I believe the 48-52 pickups used the same tail lights as the 33-36 cars. As the guys said, the blue dot tail light lens is available from many different suppliers.
As a side note, I just removed mine and replaced the original all red lens in my tail lights. After being rear-ended a year ago, I've come to the conclusion that the blue dot washes out in bright sunlight making the light very difficult to see during daytime hours. They are super cool during dusk to dark hours. I use my truck all the time and I've had too many people run up on me during the daytime. Seems like they can't see the turn signals or brake lights - and I'm running 2357 bulbs.
If you use them, watch your rearview mirror.
