I am in desperate need of a new set of rear tail light lenses. Does anyone know where I can get a set?

Search the local wrecking yards. If you find a set, they'll be cheaper than getting them shipped to you.

I used a pair of tail light out of a early 90's astro I took the wiring also and it looks fair in my opinion. I'll post a picture if you want.

They're the first thing to disappear of the wrecking yard trucks. I rarely find them anymore.

I may have some extras in fair condition, I'll have to look. If I flake on you, remind me. Got lot's of pans on the fire right now.

Yeah, 75 was the first sides of the bed year. 72 had big round lights under the tailgate, not sure if 73 or 74 was the year they switched to a retangular shaped light, 73 may be like the 72s.
Someone should create a gallery of model year differences. Its a pretty short list really.
