I need a shift cable for a 77 ranchero. I've posted in the correct forum a while ago, and did again tonight.
Parts stores don't list a shift cable for a ranchero, but the thing is either based off a tbird or ltd or something. One of those cars must be cable shift, but I don't know anyone with an interchange book or someone who can even look up a ranchero shift cable part number.

Thanks for the help guys.

 

try one of the old car parts guys like Dennis Carpenter.

 

Try here it may work for you.

Mike, those are cables for aftermarket shifters. I retained the column shift because it's very tight under there in the driveshaft tunnel.
I'm looking for an oem style cable.

 

is the column shift cable or linkage?
i saw many linkage bushings mentioned, but no cables

 

Cable shifter
72 and older was linkage apparently from what I've seen.

 

A 77 is based on the LTD II and Mercury Cougar of the same years.

 

Still no luck.
These cars musta been complete crap for no one to make aftermarket parts for them.

 

Awesome info from our friend NumberDummy

 

Yeah I know they're universal I thought they might work. The only other place I can think of that might be able to help is here.https://m.facebook.com/blumenthalautomatics?__tn__=C
