Pull the dog house off and get a test light. Clip the ground clip to the positive battery terminal.
Remove the connector from each glow plug and touch the probe to the connection pin on the glow plug. If the light lights it is good, if it does not then it is bad.

This is probably easier to do on a van than an F series since you can get to the back of the motor easier.
