I need to replace all four 1157 sockets and the back up light 1156 sockets on my 72. The factory sockets are crimped in place to a plastic housing. I used a dremel cutter wheel and got them out. I need a socket to replace them. Any ideas on a replacements?
 
Have a look at these.

These ones are for 1156 bulbs.
You'll have to inquire with them if they have ones for the 1157 bulbs.
 
You can buy them at your local auto parts store. You'll just need to solder your original connectors on.

I am using these. Thanks for the tip. The hole for the 1157 brake turn sockets has to be drilled out to 1 1/8", the 1156 back up light socket fits right in to the stock hole. Going to work perfectly.
