On my 66 there are 2 wires coming off the master cylinder. All you have to do is connect them to see if the lights coming on. Sometimes those things can go out.

No, your truck's brake lights work from a switch that's mounted on the brake pedal up under the dash. It's a pretty simple deal, make sure it has power coming to it. Possible that the switch is bad given you've replaced most everything else.
