Question Reverse lights

Has anyone ever hooked up reverse lights on a 65 100 or 250 ? 4 on the floor. What type of switching is used ? Could I use a wire harness from a later year ? I would recess the lights into the flatbed frame.
Would like to see what I am running into. Thanks for any input.

For the lights themselves, you could find a pair of '67-72's. They have reverse lights and will fit right in, so it'd look pretty stock.

Allen One thing is for sure the stopper didn't know what they were stopping you for. No back up lights is a pretty lame stop. IMHO
