Default 95 psd f350 hard start

Hey there everyone, got a another question. When I go to start my truck, its very difficult to get turned over. Let me be more specific I climb in my truck, turn the key, wait to start, push in clutch pedal, turn key. Nothing. Have to push clutch through the floorboards it feels to get it to start. No, the truck not cranking over while I'm turning the key. It is just dead. I literally have bruises on the bottom of my foot from pushing the clutch pedal in so hard! Would this be an ignition problem? Clutch pedal switch problem? Computer? I'm stumped and need somewhere to start looking. Sorry for the long post, thanks guys

On AutoZone.com I found a neutral safety switch? Then it asks me what tranny I have. Its a 5 speed other than that, I don't know the specific name. They said C6 or e4od

Those are both automatic trannys. The manuals are a ZF5.

Damn, well do you have any idea what I would need then? Its been getting progressively worse over the past month, I was worried it wasn't going to start today. By the way, I'm 6'4 270# and I can barely get it to start. A lot of my buddies can't start it. I will feel stupid if its not the clutch pedal that's responsible for this

not sure what the exact name is, but if you go to a auto parts store they should be able to help you, you have a ZF5 tranny
