    need to get truck inspected, reverse lights would not illuminate when shifted to Reverse. Changed bulbs, didn't help. Any thoughts?

    See build link
    Run a test light to the hot wire going into the terminal while you're in reverse and see if you're getting juice.

    Check your fuses, there are two for the tails I believe, one under dash and one under hood, 15A I think. Either or both of the fuses could be bad.
