66 tail light bucket gaskets

Does anyone know where I can get the gasket on the back of the tail light bucket that sits in between it and the bed? I got new gaskets for in between the bucket and the lens but can't seem to find these ones. Thank you

I'm going to stick my neck out and say that's a lens gasket that someone placed behind the housing instead of beneath the lens. I don't think there was a gasket between the bucket and the body. Confirmation or opposing should arrive any minute!

No such thing for pickups.
The gasket was placed on the backside of the body to seal it, so the interior didn't get wet, but only for 1964/66 Econoline (except pickup) and 1966 Bronco (except Roadster).

There would be no reason to use a gasket like this on a pickup.

C4TZ-13434-B Right & C4TZ-13435-B Left .. Tail Lamp Bodies.

Applications: 1964/66 F100/250 2WD Stylesides & Econolines (except pickup); 1966 F100 4WD Stylesides & Bronco.

Thanks for the replies. I guess someone replaced that bucket sometime in the past because it was only on one of them. One less thing I have to buy

Does anyone have any tips on pressing new sockets into the bucket? I can't get it to go
