One possible answer is: The taillight will not be lit. Next: a voltmeter is useful to see if 12 volts in on the plus 12 volt supply wire to the lamp. If 12 volts is on the ground wire then the bulb is good but the ground wire is not tied to the ground circuits.

Does truck bed have to be grounded for tail lights to work?
Well, the tail light housings need to be grounded. If these are mounted in the truck bed then grounding the truck bed will enable the lights to work. Current for lighting flows through one wire to the light, thru the filament and out to ground. You can test this by measuring voltage between the power wire and the truck bed. If you are grounded you should get ~12 V. Also test between the power wire and the frame. If you get ~12 V here but not against the truck bed, install a ground strap between the truck bed and the frame to establish a ground.
