65 shift indicator light?

Does anybody know if there was a shift indicator light on a 65 automatic f100?

I am rebuilding my column and noticed an unused bulb rattling around the bottom pf that column and just from the design of the pointer it looks like it was intended to be illuminated. Anybody have any info on this and if so perhaps a picture? I can't find any info in the usual ford sources.

No shift indicator dial lamp until 1973.

Pointer made as part of shift collar thru 1972. 1973/77: Shift collar has a slot in it, separate plastic pointer slips into slot. Shift indicator dial is hooded.

1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog / Illustration Section 35 ~ Page 8 shows: 1965/72 F100/250 2WD & 1967/72 F350 steering column and related parts in an exploded view.

Catalog available on a CD from hipoparts.com
