I had a issue with my 65 custon cab. Turns out I will be pulling the steering wheen to check the turn signal cam and switch in the column. I know this may not help mutch, but let me tell you it drove me crazy for weeks till I figured it out! I hope you post when you fix it.

Did you check the source power on both wires at the brake switch? Also, was the key on as this has proven to be necessary on some trucks. I had this problem recently on the donor truck I wanted to drive around. I sourced electicity from a fused side off the fuse block and ran it to the switch. After I verified the brake switch was good, I pulled from the other side of the switch right to the 3-wire pigtail below the master for the rear wiring. If you could see what's under the dash as far as wiring goes, you would understand this simplistic approach...
