No reverse lights?
I recently bought a '79 1 ton with a 4 speed. The reverse lights do not work. If this was an auto, I'd guess there is a switch on the shifter or trans to turn them on. I have no idea with the manual. Where is the switch that turns them on?

Re: No reverse lights?
there should be 2 switches on your shifter base. neutral safety/reverse lights

Re: No reverse lights?

Re: No reverse lights?
On my '87 4-spd, the backup light switch is screwed into the side of the gearbox underneath the truck.
