Problems with tail lights

My tail lights on my 73 f100 are being wierd.First, the brakelights alternate back and forth. The left side will work and the right side won't and visa versa. My blinkers work fine, but then when my hazards are on one side works and the other doesn't. My tail light themselves work but it's the other problems that are driving me insane. I've been told it could be a ground issue some say it's the lights can anyone with some knowledge in this field help me PLEAZZZZZZZEE!!!

From: LongBeach, Ms.
Usually if you have ground problems it shows up in your dash turnsignal indicator or front turnsignal glowing. It sounds to me like you either have a bulb socket problem or a turnsignal/emergencyflasher switch problem "turnsignal takes priority over brake lights all run through the turnsignal switch.
