Replacing broken auto shift lever?

I am looking at an used F150 truck (1989) with a broken shift lever for automatic transmission. Is that part easy to replace? If yes, where can I find a replacement? I checked Rock Auto and Ebay but no luck. I doubt Ford will have them stocked for a truck that's 27 years old.

Is the shift lever itself broken, or is it the shift collar that the shift lever fits into that's broken?

These parts are different with or without a tilt wheel. 1978/91: Tilt wheel operated by pressing the T/S handle forward.

it makes a difference what is broken. if it is just the shift arm, that is an easy repair. if it is in the column, i usually just replace the complete column.
