Default tail light bulbs for '76 vette

need new bulbs for the four tail lights and was wondering if all four
bulbs are the same part number, mine are worn and i can't make out
all the numbers. If someone has the correct numbers it would be very
helpful.
thanx wade

Default Bulbs

The manual shows #1157 for the turn/Brake light bulbs and #1156 for the Backup Bulbs

Default Two filiments vs. one?

Only difference is one has two filiments for brakes & turn signals that are brighter than tail light illumination? Shoot, I don't remember. Just make sure that you don't put amber coated bulbs in the back up socket. Heck, maybe you want a custom look. Dip them in blue paint or something.
