The heavy F trucks, as I remember, use combination brake/turn wiring.

You will need to find the brake switch output lead that feeds into the turn signal switch and snip it off at the column connector. To a new lead into the brake switch end of the cut lead and run it to the rear of the truck. This now feeds your brake lights.

The existing two rear wires are now only for the turn signals.
