Thanks, Dallas, Brian and Ron for your responses.

I decided to work on the right brake light, since that's a priorty over the two reverse lights that are still OOC. I drilled out the two rivets holding the can in and with a slight tug, the can came out. After a quick inspection I determined that the can wasn't too corroded, most of that being on the bottom. Took a wire brush, file, and sand paper and cleaned it up. Then applied two coats of black Rustoleum spray paint. Tomorrow, I'll solder the new socket to the can (picked that up at Pep Boys Auto).

I got lucky with the running lights. One of the previous owners replaced them all with the modern running lights with the tiny two pronged light bulbs (don't know the size).

Today I ordered 2 clear and 2 red lenses from Oasis RV. The old lenses were stained, dull, and scratched in some places. They definately needed replacing.
