Turn Signal Relay Issue

The 1034/1157 bulbs ground through their housing and then through the socket and metal taillight housing.

........And this has always been suspect. OP can you solder? Clean up the lamp shells and solder a pigtail ground on the socket shell, and bolt the other one to say, the trunk latch bolt. When I was young......and I HAD a 63 Chev SS for awhile......part of the lamps were IN THE TRUNK LID. You used to see a LOT of those 63--66 or so Cheves with improperly or non working lights back there

This is me soon after buying the 63 on leave up here in the N end of Idaho. This photo is on Treasure Island, CA, near the amateur radio club in the spring of '70. I had stopped by on the way to San Diego, NAS Miramar, where I'd be for 4 years. (6 years total, ET-R2, maintained GCA RADAR) Here, I'm about 22

At the RADAR shop at Miramar. I did not have it long, traded it and some cash for a 69 383 RR 4 speed. The Miramar tower (the old one not there today) is just out of sight at far right. This photo is looking sort of E or NE. None of our shop is there, the jarheads have poured concrete for more choppers. The tall object at far right on the horizon is the "civilian" FAA long range RADAR. I don't remember the technical term, Miramar had civilian controllers as well as Navy, the civvies handled area traffic. It was the center coming down from LA, whatever that was called.At one time San Diego was working on a deal to move and take over Miramar for the local airport. It would have (then) been a great location.
