What year did Ford Trucks change to a push button starter switch?

Cars in 36 where stomp start, like the model a. So in 37ish. Trucks always followed cars as they used up old parts. Think it was universal in 37. 37 truck guys can say for certain if they have a stomp starter. I can say 38 is push button with solenoid.

My '32 pickup has a pull cable to start.
