It turned out to be the fuse. The fuse wasn't blown but ... I took it out sprayed in some contact cleaner and replaced it. Voila! I got brake lights. And then I rebuilt the rear wiring harness from the firewall back. Lots of brittle mouse chewed wire. Now I'm ready to register it and drive.

1961/64 6 or V8's use the same hood front ornament: C1TZ-16607-B.
1965/66 352's have a V8 ornament (C5TZ-16607-A), the 6's use the 1961/64 ornament.
No 302's till 1969, and then only on F100's.
Info source: 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog, the same scanned CD version hipoparts.com sells. It's also sold on ebay.

Fellas, my brake lights are out again. I pulled off the beat up fleetside bed and found a factory flatbed and once again, the tail lights don't work. The cam on the left turn signal has lost its self-cancelling function so, I'd like to inspect the turn signal switch. I still cannot get the horn button off.
4 spoke wheel. Stainless horn button. Press, evenly (with all my strength) and turn it counter-clockwise. It spins a full 360. Nothing. At TDC and BDC is spins easily. The only place I can feel a difference is at 7 o'clock. I got a small pick under the edge but it will not lift at all.
Is there a Plan B ?

When you press down on your horn button, does it feel like there's a coil spring below it?
There should be.
If someone installed the horn button without the coil spring, or if the spring has broken, it can be tough to get the little bugger off.
The horn button used with a 4 spoke wheel is not the same as the 3 spoke wheel horn button.
The 4 spoke wheel horn button has a metal plate on the bottom (it's part of the button itself) with three tabs on it that fit into a metal plate on the wheel.
3 spoke wheel horn buttons use a plastic retainer with three tabs on it. This retainer is replaceable as screws on/off the horn button.
The same retainer was also used with the horn ring.

There is a spring. The horn relay clicks when I push the button- until I disconnected the battery (horn is missing) .
I am sitting next to the truck ,here in my shop, and I just tried it again. Pushing on various points around the edge of the button with my thumb while turning counter clockwise.
Geeez... it still just spins. It is slowed by friction at 10 and 2 oclock.

horn button 4spoke rem.>
mine is in my hand >details=f350at the bottom of the assembly three tang locking plate + 3 screw conn.to upper housing then to the molded horn cap[now this is where it gets tricky ,there's the stainless top with emblem that looks like it is ether a pressure molded fit or those screws lock it to it some kind of attaching mech./when i grip the cover very tight it doesn't wiggle /it 's the horn cap turning or the screws are broken stopping the tangs cc.only 1/2" / 7/16" in the bott. slots. if the horn assmb. is separated from the tangs "screws" you'd think it would fall off hey might be the cap cover [then it's time to break out the crow bar )
sometimes it's the only aalternet !!
