<VV> 61 Rampside tail lights

[rchivers at tampabay.rr.com]

Hello all,  
     I am getting closer to getting the rampie on the road, been 
working on it for over a year now and making some pretty good 
progress.  I was working on the tail lights this weekend, and I 
believe that the sockets are too far gone to save.  Has anyone 
replaced the sockets with one from a flaps, if so how did it work, 
anything in paticular I should worry about.  Looks like removing the 
old one without destroying the housing will be the biggest effort, any 
tips would be appreciated.

TIA
