C-6 Control Lever

I am looking for a 78', C-6, 2WD, manual control lever. I know from my parts catalog that I need p/n D8TZ-7A256-A. I found a lever on Ebay with an EOTZ-7A256-B tag on it. Are these interchangeable? All I seem to find online is some obscure info, maybe relating this to a 90 - 93 C6. Any indeas? worse case I go to the not so local JY and start wrenching on a 79 I've been picking at for a while. Thanks for the help.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any.

No!
EOTZ-7A256-B = 1980/89 F100/350, Bronco & Econoline C6.

I ran into this once years back after buying a c6 out of a scrape yard and figured it was out of a car and I added some length to the rod coming off the column as the picture shows and could take back off if needed,,this worked for years with no problem this was on a 79 f150,,might help if all else fails

Thanks ND for the confirmation. They look similar but I couldn’t tell if it would work. I’ll Pull the correct one from a JY donor.
