Just an FYI...
I've found the NOS mil surp red reflectors to be crap... They have no manufacturer's or approval markings, and they haze over and fade badly within a few years of exposure. If you need to replace just the RED reflector inserts on your truck bed, I suggest you just buy these instead;

Each one of these $2.48 driveway markers has two, 3" red reflectors. The ones I've bought have all been marked SAE and DOT approved. The lenses pop right out of the plastic top ring with some careful hand pressure, and the lens edges are flanged just like the mil-surp reflectors, so they fit right into the existing reflector cups/bezels on your truck bed. I've found they still look brand new long after the mil surp ones go to crap. And, you get a free 48" fiberglass rod with each pair of red reflectors... BONUS!!!
Haven't found an as-cheap flanged/direct fit lens relpacement for the AMBER reflectors yet, but I replaced mine with these NOS assemblies (It's tough to read, but the lenses in the assemblies I got are marked "James King NO. 2050 SAE-DOT ");

and the amber lenses in these assemblies still look new after 3 years of exposure.
