Glow plug sensor? '86 6.9

I was wondering if there's a temp sensor for the plugs in my model. After a couple years I just realized that there isn't a light to tell me when the plugs are ready. I have a push to heat and I never really gave it any thought since I bought it that way but anything will help regarding installing on if possible.

Thanks everyone for your help!!!

On that early system the sensor is part of the controller.
If you have a push button for your glow plugs then someone's modified your system and the controller is more than likely out of the loop now:
