Check at the connector in the firewall just behind the engine, on the drivers side about exhaust manifold level. Check the ground of the taillight housings on both sides.

You should have a connector with 3 wires on the fire wall to the left of the steering column by about a foot or so were the firewall is recessed back. Check that connector on both sides and then check your grounds on the bed. There is also another 3 wire connection under the bed by the spare tire. Since the brake light was working, I'm thinking loose connection, but it could be grounds.

It's usually a ground problem on this era truck. I run a separate ground wire right to the tail light assembly to the frame to solve most of those problems,
