Anyone have any idea what the lens might have been made of!
the 'lenses' is some sort of plastic like material sandwiched between two metal discs that ore riveted together. Opaque in the front lights, red in the rear. I'm pretty sure thee are after market, but still have been on this truck for a very long time. I would like to rebuild them if I can. 

Interesting, the curled up mounting piece on this one is not present on the left side.  
I am still confident of this;
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27

Yes: Aftermarket for sure. Back in 28 a turn/stop signal was various contortions of your left arm. I'm sure that would be most likely some sort of plastic, slightly possible thin glass. I'd think if you could carefully remove the rivets, you'd find there was just a colored disc of some translucent material. Colored Lexan or plexiglass would be a possible replacement. 
If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY

Actually, one single stop light was stock, but, as you say, turn signals were supplied by the driver. I'm in the process of dismantling one as we speak. you are correct, it is some sort of plastic like material. If you look close at the pic, the original material has cracked and curled as though subjected to hi heat, but I doubt it was actually HI heat, more likely IV from sun
