coach, the next step is grounds.It's a mantra on these trucks when you have an electrical problem "Check the grounds".You should also check to see that the bulbs are correct.The connector plug under the bed should be good since you have the other lights but there may be a worn or broken spot in the wire,especially where it runs thru the frame(should be a rubber grommet btu it's 40 years old if it's still there.
BTW did I mention that about 50% of the time the problem is with the grounds"Check the grounds".
