Need to proofread. I assume lights are not working!!!! Check fuses. Do marker lights and front signals work? Suspect TS switch for brakes and turn signals.

My bet is it's a fuse you missed.
You can't always tell by looking.
Buy a tester from the autoparts. They sell one that tests the fuses in place, no need to pop them out, for under $10.
Don't forget to check under the hood.

Also check all body grounds on the bed, and the one that goes bed to cab. Don't trust the look, loosen it up,then re-tighten . A bad chasis ground will play heck with the tail lights.
