Correct. Most of these ole cars however have suffered from lack of care & repair. o probably your wires got damaged or bulbs blown.
Have an electrician look at it

Cool thanks. I was speaking to another owner of one of these vehicles this afternoon and he mentioned that there used to be some type of light transfering filament that was somehow connected to the park lights in the bumper up to the marker lights, similar to how fibre optic cable transfers light. Any truth to this? I may go the LED route in the lights though and see what happens...

best bet is to keep looking around
Also , if feasible, a separate parts car if you can find one
