Only 1981/82 F100/150's with AOD have a NSS. 1980/82 C4/C5/C6 do not have a NSS .. only have a backup lamp switch.
Now you got me asking how do they keep the starter from working in gear if no NSS?
Is there another "switch" on the column and is called something else?


Both of my trucks are sticks so I cant go check.

That was the basis for my original question. Probably should have asked it more directly, as you did. Hope you get a better answer than I did.

I knew what you were after.
Bill did say something I did not know of the 2 years not have a NSS.
I would like to see what it is called and where it is placed.
