The parking lamp fuse is fed from a fuse link wire under the hood. That has to be okay because it feeds multiple fuses and circuits. Among them, if that fuse link wire was burned open, your interior lights, starter system, brake lights, and wipers not working.
When you check for voltage on the parking light fuse, check on the interior lights fuse at the same time. It is right above the parking light fuse.
Around this time period, GM was experimenting with aluminum wires to save money. They were riveted to brass strips in the fuse box, with brass rivets. Two different metals in an acid is a battery and leads to corrosion. If you live in a state like I do where they throw a pound of salt on an ounce of snow, that salt can migrate from your feet to the carpet, then find its way to the rivets, and corrode the connections. If it comes to that, pulling the fuse box out to inspect the wiring might lead to a real lot of more problems from disturbing the other wires. Lets hope all you have is that parking lights fuse is blown.
