Are they hooked up? If they are , remove the backup plug off switch(green wires) and jump across the plug with a jumper wire. Turn on switch and lights should come on. If the do try adjusting the switch. (will your truck start in park and netural only?)

It may just be out of adjustment if you are using the stock 3-speed tranny and column.

Have you tried adjusting the switch around the column? There is a fine line where all three things mesh.

The adjusting procedure goes like this:
Have an assistant stand in back of the truck.
Chock the wheels, or use the parking brake if it is good.
Place shifter in reverse and turn the switch to on.
Slide the switch back and forth untill the back up lights are on.
Test it in park and neutral... it should be good.
