    DEADMANSCURVE my first word : truck

    part numbers on old seals are : #5956742 ( right ) , #5956741 ( left )
    probably about 10" x 4" rectangular shape approx .
    mine are in one piece and ok , sorta . but look like they may not keep moisture out too well .
    may have to add some thin foam around perimeter if i can't find anything .
    any suggestions appreciated . thanks .

    Not sure if those are readily available like the skylarks. If not,you can take a roll of 3/8 butyl tape and make yourself a set of gaskets. It is the old ribbon seal used for windshields.

    White strip caulk would work too from a hardware store. Never seen the actual seals / gaskets ever being sold in the last 10+ years.

    actually had some gray strip caulk that I used to add to extra to the seal area . kinda squished out with pressure and looked like crap and stuck to paint in a not so good way .

    The Parts Place has 65 Skylark seals. I have a set for reference. You could cut the down and cut a vertical piece to box it. Likely that would work for you. Use weatherstrip adhesive to attach to the light.
