I have a set of 71's if you don't care about correctness. $50 shipped to you.
Or if you want a set of brand new correct ones, go to fusick.com and look on page 18 of their catalog.

Once in awhile I see tail light assemblies on ebay that look pretty good.

What's wrong with your housings, exactly? The sockets are swaged into the housings and are difficult to replace correctly. Your best bet is to clean up your original housings and sockets if possible. If you do look for replacements, the 71 and 72 housings are the same. Only the outer lenses are different.

If you just want replacement taillights, check ebay (aka evilbay). There's always someone who has either the lenses, or a complete taillight setup c/w harness and fittings.

Parts Place, Fusicks and Year One have the rear tail light harnesses pre made, just plug and play(so to speak). If the tail light buckets are shot, it's probably because the lense gasket failed or wasn't installed, OR the rock guards that protect the buckets on the back side are missing / damaged.

Good luck with your quest.
