Dude, I told you how to get your backup lights to work.

When I post my write up, it'll be in there on how to get them to work. It's only two wires.

Does anyone have a truck that is wrecked or know of one where I could get the pedal assembly for the conversion?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also the center console.

5 speeds don't have a center console and if you are refering to the console which retsell did, that is a tahoe/extended cab truck automatic console. You have to make your own or modify a boot to work and look good. That part is all custom, the console bolts right in but you need a new glove box outer piece due to the console.
