Solid green = tail light
Green white = brake light
Green yellow = turn
Red(mines blue) = back up light?
Thanks again for reading and helping

What type of tail lights are you using?
If these are trailer type with the same bulb doing both brake and signal, you need a converter.
The stock wires should be green/blk LH signals, and green/yel RH signals for a 77.
Green/W stop light , Red/Blue backup lights, and green for park lights.
If you have side marker a white/blk is used for grounding them.
The ground is done through the screws that fasten the stock taillight assembly to the crossmember.
So the first step is to use your tester and see if the wires in your 40 are intact functional and in agreement with the wiring diagram.
Then figure out if the taillights that you want to use are compatible with the 40 wiring. Then wire them up.
The flasher will flash as long as you have 2 bulbs connected in parallel and in series with the flasher. So when you test the signal wiring the tester light will be solid unless another bulb is also getting power from the flasher.
