[FC] Long weekend of getting truck ready for Great Western Fanbelt Toss - TURN SIGNALS / BRAKE LIGHTS

[BBRT]

No, haven't seen this. However, I had a '64 FC brake light problem which I 
traced to the dome light.. It is in the brake light or tailight circuit-been 
 >30 yr and don't remember which. . Make sure it isn't grounded/open, etc.
