Please help with steering column part issue

In the process of trying to pull the new Dennis Carpenter harness thru the column using a wire chase, I could not get it to budge past the flange. Well, I pulled the top flange, and as soon as it was loose I heard a piece of metal fall down. Pulling the whole flange out after removing the locking washer, I found that the piece the shift lever moves against was broken.

Ive looked at every reference I could find and have had no luck with a part number, what its called and where I can get a rwplacement..

Sorry about the post.. found the part number and have it ordered. For anyone that finds they have the same issue... the part number is 43-7245 and is called a "Shift Lockout Plate" Purchased that little sucker from LMC for a whooping $22 bucks with their bullcrap $10.95 shipping and handling charge. Fricken hate to have to play their stupid games, but they were the only ones that I could find that had it.

"Shipping and Handling?? I feel like a young lad in Kevin Spacey's dressing room" LOL

This is the LMC part number for your truck (you failed to mention the year), but it may not be same for other members trucks, because...

There are THREE different types!

D2TZ-7B216-A .. Transmission Control Selector Position Insert / Obsolete ~ 5 available NOS

1972/77 F100/350; 1973/77 Bronco; 1975/77 Econoline.
----------------------------------------------------------------
D8TZ-7A216-A .. Transmission Control Selector Position Insert-Use with fixed steering wheel / Obsolete ~ 11 available NOS

1978/79 F100/350, Bronco & Econoline.
---------------------------------------------
D8TZ-7A216-B .. Transmission Control Selector Position Insert-Use with tilt steering wheel / Obsolete ~ 5 available NOS
