'80 side markers

I took my side marker light off the driver side and the rubber back piece is dry rotted and fell apart. I don't think this part is available any more so I was wondering if anyone has found a similar replacement in the trailer world or something that will look factory? I'm pretty sure any 80's out there will be in similar shape.
Thanks

Yeah, I noticed they are different. I figure even if we have to modify the hole a bit there should be something from the trailer world or some other vehicle that may be able to fit.

There was another thread here talking about a vender on eBay selling clear side marker lenses for 1979/1980.

Problem is that it's just the lens. I'm sure NC is like me, we need the rubber piece in the back.
Thanks

Yep, lenses are minty, but rubbers are crumbled apart.
