Blinker and park lamp problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

When I bought my 68 the rear wiring harness was a mess. Today I ran a new harness from the firewall to the crossmember, and then a used harness from the crossmember to the lights. I have a couple issues.
1) I have park lights in the front, but none on the rear.
2) Both front and rear right side blinkers work great. When I turn the left on the front works great, but both rears blink really dimly.

I am not sure if those two problems are connected. Any ideas? I figured I would start with the grounding points (pull the taillight housing and clean up the connecting points). Then maybe the flasher???
