Default 6v bulbs

Has anyone ever found a 6v compact dual element bulb. I need them for my park/turn signal lights on my 51 F1 truck. I tried the regular sized bulbs but they are too close to the plastic lens and started to melt it. I have seen 12V compact dual element bulbs but I don't know if they would work with a 6V system. Thanks

What number bulb are you using?

I believe the standard #1154 bulb is what was originally used.
There are 100's available on Ebay and even from Napa.
