It will start if it is in any gear without touching the clutch pedal.
Those are the names listed at Rock Auto and NAPA and such for those two switches.
The truck has never had cruise, so that isn't it. One site list the switch on the tranny as a starter interlock switch. but I compare that to potatos, potatoes....
If it isn't in neutral, or the clutch pushed in, it should start. They started putting them in in the 70s I believe, My 72 Pinto didn't have one, but they were fairly common around 76 from what I've found.
