Check your grounds, both at the taillight housings, and the bed itself.

it is definately your ground, probably at one of the tail lights. I just had this problem. It's quite common. I even had it on my '98 Silverado.

Honestly, kinda sounds like a bad bulb or a wire disconnected. If it was a ground, he'd have no light on that side at all.
