Default No Running Lights or Dash Lights!!! Help!

OK so the other day I got in my truck and started it up and the dash lights went out. Not thinking anything of it and assuming it was a fuse I wasn't worried about it. I got pulled over a few miles later because I had no running lights on the rear of my truck. Now I've started thinking about it and trying to figure out what it could be. I don't have a right brake light, right rear turn signal, any running lights what so ever(including above cab lights marker lights and liscense plate) and no dash lights. I checked all the fuses and none are blown. Any ideas on what it could be? The truck is a 99 f350 crew cab 8 foot bed DRW.

Thanks for the help in advance!

I bet it's your head light switch. If you can find a good used one, try it. No go, might be a ground issue.
