check for hot at the tranny. one should be hot if not iirc they dont matter the switch works both ways. then fun the other wire to the reverse lights its easy. should be easier than finding stock crap in the harness and trouble shooting any other issues. also you can put it in reverse with the motor off and key out to use them as work lights.

thats off my main harness. i have no brake lights and reverse lights stay on when the tow darker ones are connected. ****er turned over on me when some combination of them were touched. i have a t19 tranny i dont believe there are any wires going to it other than the reverse switch. i just dont know what color wire goes where

The two red wires will complete your ignition circuit (be careful not to start in gear). The purple and orange and black and orange are for your reverse lights. Wire those to a toggle switch and you'll be good to go.

Forgot to add that since it is a manual, if it's allowed to roll in gear it will be able to start. The key would have to be left on though, so it shouldn't be a big concern unless you're in the habit of letting the truck stall out to shut it down.

Even with the clutch start switch operating it would start in that scenario.
