mastercaster,

"wlihntr" has got you covered, it is Black with Green tracer, can be found on the frame or under the dash up around the fuse block.

Here is a recent thread were "Bear Hunter" did and install and write up of additional backup lights.

If you're pulling it from the harness that goes into the back of the 7-pin trailer plug (assuming you've got the 7pin plug), then it should be the center pin wire.

There is a wire in the fuse panel beneath the steering column that is 12V+ when the vehicle is shifted into reverse. It is on the lower passenger side of the fuse panel, it is a black wire with pink tracer. Here is a picture of it from where I tapped into it in my truck.
