Jason,

If I recall correctly the reverse switch is on the passenger side of the transmission. There is a chance that the switch itself is bad, but most likely the insulation on the wire has rotted off from being soaked in oil over the years. With the insulation missing the wire can short to ground which would turn on the backup lights.
