The taillamps on my '73 K20 have one ground to the left inner bedside. When I rebuilt the taillight harness, I made 1 ground per side and grounded them to each inner bedside, and then from the same bolt I ran a wire down to the frame and all was solved.

You should have the taillamps ground to the bed, a ground from the bed to the frame, battery (-) to alternator bracket or engine block, radiator support to frame, headlamps to radiator support, firewall to engine head, engine cluster to dash frame, and some others I probably forgot.

One thing I learned in my quest is that if the issue is a crazy one, it is likely a bad ground.
