Now that brown wire goes all the way through the firewall to some hookup on the horn relay! As you'll see below the brown wire hooked to the horn relay.

The auto trans neutral safety switch also contains a set of contacts for reverse lights. They were an option on these trucks (and became standard equipment in '66). The 2 screw terminals on the horn relay are a BATT+ power distribution point.
It looks like someone added reverse lights to your truck and used the brown wire connected to the distribution point on the horn relay as their power source.
The factory installed reverse light wiring used a dark green power feed wire connected to the fuse box. Did they at least put an inline fuse in that brown wire?

Looks like you're all set with a good harness to replace that mess though
