wiring harness
I don't know which color does what. If you haven't cut the ends off where they enter the factory tail lights, call around & try to buy the correct wiring harness from hillsboro, truck craft, etc. They will plug right in.
Wiring a body to the 3rd gen trucks is alot more complicated. ie. you NEED seperate brake/tail & turn signals. Otherwise you will constantly have wiring problems and the 'light out' warning on your dash.
If it is too late & the ends have already been cut off, I can look sometime this weekend under my brother's flatbed. We learned this lesson the hard way.
