Reverse lights

The truck is a 87 F150 4x4 with a manual transmission. Reverse lights don’t work and I think it's because the switch is missing from the transmission. There is a 2 wire plug hanging on the drivers side, by the clutch that has one wire hot at KOEO. There is hole in the tranny close by, cant tell if its threaded or not though. Is this where the reverse light switch goes? It's a granny gear 4 speed but I'm not sure which one. I understand that Ford put several different ones in these trucks. I had seen an earlier post that had a link to a site that would help me identify it, can anyone give that to me? Thanks.

Oops, that hole by the clutch salve cylinder isn't even the transmission. So now I dont know where to look for the reverse light switch.

The reverse switch is usually screwed into the side of the top cover on top-loaders.
