1987 No start
I have an manual '87 F150 with an 6 cyl. It won't start from the key. I recently changed the starter relay (which i use to start the truck) so the starter is not the problem (or can it still be?) or the relay. I also changed the ignition switch? (located on steering column) and also did some wiring work regarding the neutral switch located on the transfer case (tranny?) I noticed that they were corroded and wired them to each other to complete the circuit. Unfortunately, when trying to start the truck, using the key with clutch fully depressed in neutral, still no start. Any ideas, anyone? Still looking at my baby and these boards.

Possible-worn/bad actuator in the column not allowing the electrical switch to travel far enough.Also check adjustment of ignition switch on lower column.
Also check to make sure you have power to and from switch.If not check fusible links at starter relay
