I've decided to use the '58 Ranchero, Wagon / Sedan Delivery rear bumper guards, on the '57 Ranchero I'm building.
These guards have a triangular shaped light and lens and I would like to find a nice used pair of the plastic lens, or, if I'm really lucky, a NOS pair.
The lens has FL-58A On it in raised letters. If I have to buy the bumper guards to get the lens, I will
Thanks

If those are flat and as a last resort, couldn't they be cut from lexan?
Terry, Yes that is Plan "B". Simple to do, but one never knows what obscure parts are out there unless you ask.
Thanks
John

John, if you need to make lenses from lexan. sandblasting the inside works like a charme and you'll get a nicely fogged effect with smooth outer surface ( make sure to tape off before blasting). I did a similar thing on these custom made 53 Lincoln taillight lens (only experimental for now).

Guenter, if I have to make my own, I'll do just you suggested and sand blast the inside to get the right look. Great idea. Thank You!
John
I found a couple if you still need?
