Shift Detent - Part Located!!
Lookit what I found...
Automatic Shift Column Lockout Plate, 73-77 Ford Bronco, New - Toms Bronco Parts
I know in that thread about Shift Detent - the part that causes the Auto Trans to drop into Reverse out of Park - NumberDummy noted that no one makes one and there is not one to be had by Obsolete Dealer. Just noticed it lists for a 73-77 Bronco, but the part looks exactly the same as the one pictured in this thread - https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ft-detent.html
Being that I'm into Broncos and write for the Bronco magazine, I wind up with Bronco catalogs. Even though my primary interest is the Fullsize Broncos, I'm starting to find that some of the parts for our 66 F100s can be found through early Bronco vendors.
Naturally being that the first year of the early Bronco is '66, some of the '66 F100 parts wound up on the Broncos.
Anyhow... that detent thing is very important, I'll be ordering one soon.

Reasonable Parts
It looks like most of his parts are reasonably priced too.
His online catalog is not crowded, looks like a good supplier although I didn't check out the shipping cost yet, a few things that I need are several dollars less than most places.
Not too many places carry that column shift tube, I was looking a few months back and ended up buying a very good used one for $25.
Thanks for the link!

They're based out of Oregon, and ship FedEx ground, so to Atlanta, it was about $18 shipping. I bout fell off my stool, but whatever... I wanted that thing and ordered it.
The other thing I want is the cigar lighter. It drives me nuts - because I'm OCD - that there is no bezel that says "lighter"... its just a silver circle... So I've been looking into putting a different lighter in the dash so I can have that dang bezel. I don't understand why they don't make one, or didn't have one in the trucks... grr. Maybe its just me.

Go right on ahead and order it, but when it doesn't work, don't blame me.

C5TZ-7A216-A .. Detent / 1965/66 F100/250.
D2TZ-7A216-A .. Detent / 1972/77 F100/350 / 1973/77 Bronco.
1967/71 F100/350: There are two others, they aren't the same either.
If you invest in some Ford parts catalogs, you won't make this mistake again.
The 1965/72 & 1973/79 Ford Passenger Car Parts Catalogs & the 1964/72 Ford Truck Parts Catalog are available on CD's from hipoparts.com
Bronco parts are listed in the car catalogs thru 1979.

How many would'ja like? 1961/66 F100/1100 & 1966 Bronco used the same element: C1TZ-15054-A
Ford replaced C1TZ-15054-A with C7TZ-15054-A in 1967, then replaced C7TZ-15054-A with D3TZ-15054-A in 1973-used thru 1979.
All will work, but C1TZ-15054-A is slightly different than the other two. Carpenter has the D3TZ element.
Both the C1TZ element and the 1961/66 F100/1100 & 1966 Bronco "**** & Element" (C1TZ-15052-A) can be found NOS.

I really see no reason for you to get your drawers in a wad over *my* mistake and *my* money.
When it gets here and its not the same and it won't work, then I'll update the thread accordingly to save some other poor soul from making the same mistake. Chill out.
While I'm at it with all this spare time on my hands, I'll take the automatic column out of a '68 I have and see what it looks like, too. Cause I have a curious mind and I like figuring out Ford engineers brilliant ways to screw with people. I see it every day when I'm looking up parts.

It isn't just you I'm concerned with. Since you said it would work in 1965/66's, peeps are gonna assume that's correct...but it isn't correct.

Detents: 1967/68 is C7TZ-7A216-A, also fits some 1969's, but there is serial number break in 1969 (before/from D96,001). So, some 1969's use C9TZ-7A216-A, as do all 1970/71's.
If you want the correct lighter element and/or the **** and element, I'll be happy to list the sources.

I recently installed the shift detent plate I pulled from a 79 Ford F250, and all I had to
do was gently file a tiny bit off of the right side of the plate for it to fit into the slot...
I'm talking a tiny bit. Works like a charm.
EffieFord, I'd also have a look at your shift lever portion that rests in the detent, as it
may be the issue with wear....did you see our other thread on it...check it out)

I'm looking for one of these, or a repro if they're available cheaper.

I'm curious, did this part work or not? We never got the update.

I haven't done it yet. 
I have the part laying on my desk.
The only thing I have to say at this point, I will not buy from Tom's Bronco Parts again. The shipping was ridiculous for a part that isn't even in any kinda package. It was wrapped up in a ton of brown paper and stuffed in a box that's way too big for the thing and charged some ridiculous shipping fee... for something they could have easily shipped in a padded envelope for a fraction of the price.
I have one more cruise in before I start to tear into the steering column. I just didn't want to get in there and somehow disable the truck right now, but I assure you, as soon as I get into the project I will take pics and update.
