On an '87, it would be on the firewall up in front of the brake pedal. I don't remember if those trucks used an electric fuel pump, or if they still used a mechanical one.

Yeah, if it is mechanical, I don't think there would be a switch.

The inertia switch shuts off power to the electric fuel pumps in an accident. No electric fuel pumps, nothing to switch off.
