Truck clearance light

I know this is a long shot, but wondering if anyone knows where one might find a light like this, with the mounting stud on the back. It's located in the rear center of the flatbed on my '59 Chevy grain truck. They evidently are no longer made, as I've tried several automotive parts houses, a large semi truck center, a topper and trailer place, and an implement dealer. Just wondering if there's a place I overlooked.

Most of the newer ones are flange mounted. I don't have a problem with that, and will probably end up going that route. It's just that, given the location, it's going to be a pain to get in there and drill the necessary holes. I was just trying to avoid that if possible.

How about drilling the stud hole to 3/4 then and installing mini LED lights?

Simple and inexpensive.

Try eBay. There used to be someone that
sold antiquated lights on there.
Remembered. Antique Illumination was the
name
 
How big is the hole ?



would this fit?

Hemmjo is the right track. Get the whole grommet mount light. Any truck parts house will have them. If the
holes are the right size, (there are 2 sizes), no tools required, except wiring the new plug. Mark.
 
eBay has some single stud mount marker lights. They aren't the same as your but would work. Search "stud mount round marker light"
 
I thought I had one, till I found it,it's houge twin
stud with a license clear lens on the bottom. I tried
:)
 
Dump the mounted lights and go with Hemmjos plan thelights will last longer and are easier to change just put the wire on to it. they can be gotten with pigtails for the light so easy to wire in. Just tuck the extra wire in the frame there. I would run the ground back to a better place than just fastened to the box frame though. Hinges can be a problem with the ground connection.
 
Rich. A buddy of mine knows a guy that repairs all sorts of clearance lights. It started out as a part-time job for him, but hes so busy. Hes looking for
somebody to help him. I think he lives up around Mille Lacs or Cambridge. If you want, I can get his phone number and you can give him a call. I would
think if he doesnt have that light, he could send you in the right direction. Dale

I had done several Ebay searches, using a variety of different key words, but for some reason, I had not used that combination. I tried that one and found just what I was looking for. Not an exact match, but adequate for what I want. I ordered it this morning. Thanks, Jim! And thanks to everyone else who replied.
 

I got the new light put in this morning, and it works great! I know it doesn't match the others in appearance, but I'm not that concerned about that. I just wanted it to work.
However I did actually buy three of those lights. I may at some point put in the other two so they all look alike. Or I might wait until the originals fail like the first one did and replace them then.
