1965 turn signal / brake light rewiring issue

Hi, I have spent a couple of hours searching through the forum (through electrical section and doing searches) and several electrical books and have had no luck finding my issue.

I was wondering if any one had a wiring diagram for the 64-66 chevy trucks?

I have a 1965 chevy truck with a 1966 bed (has backup lights) most of the wiring was bad or gone so have been wiring it all myself. I have been checking my work along the way. And all is good, until I hook up the turn signals and park lights.

parts used are new 14 ga wire and HD turn signal switch # 910-62860 (aftermarket turn signal switch from speedway) (original switch to the truck is damaged and missing parts)

The left taillight has 3 wires coming off of it and the right only has two. So, assumed that the 3rd wire was for ground. The turn signals work fine with that hook up, but the park lights will not come on and wires get hot. So, disconnect the 3rd wire on the left side and park lights work fine, left turn signal works fine, but the right turn signal slightly flashes both taillights.

any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks
Rick
