Reverse Light installation - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am in the middle of my rewire of my 1965 that did not come with reverse/backup lights. I am thinking about installing a set...but have a couple of questions.

I am installing a Tremec T56 Magnum 6 speed. It has a 2 wire pigtail wiring harness for backup lights. In my head, all I need to do is wire the backup lights to the pigtail..(one to the backup lights and one to a hot wire) so when I go in reverse the switch inside tells the transmission that it is in reverse and that the backup lights to come on...Am I thinking correctly?
