Bad turn signal switch. That was the cause of intermittent no-brake lights on my 73.

Also check the fuse. I had a blown fuse that disabled the rear lights before the signal switch went flakey. (I "fixed" the fuse at a wrecking yard - got rear ended half a mile away at a stop light - no damage to the 73, the little Tercel that hit me was totalled - I was real glad I had working brake lights and couldn't be blamed.)
