I would say go get the parts you need from a salvage yard.
But be careful the nut can brake off the TV shaft and then you have to drop the pan to replace it.
Do not ask how I know that.

If your '87 F250 has a 302, it has AOD. If it has a 300 I-6, 351W, 460 or a diesel, it has a C6.

Hey just a heads-up. If you do have an AOD transmission, do NOT drive it without the kickdown/TV cable hooked up and CORRECTLY adjusted! On that transmission the TV cable controls line pressure as well as kickdown, without it set up right you can burn the transmission up.
