Shifter linkage part numbers?

I recently acquired several shifter rods for what I believe is 3 speed manual column shifter applications.

I was hoping someone with access to part numbers could tell me what these things are for because Google is turning up nothing.

D3TA-7326-EA
D3TA-7326-DA
D3TA-7328-AA
D3TA-7328-BA

They are all different lengths and configurations.

Anyone gracious enough to look up these part numbers for me?

"Numbers Dummy"
(the members name who is a specalist in this regard here @ this site). PM him he's very giving/likes to provide this assistance, has helped litterally millions w/prt numbers, prts, etc.

Many of the typical after mrkt vendors for da bronk have these prts (BCB, WH, Dennis C, Duffy's, JBGrvYrd, Tom's, Dearborn, LMC, etc). Ford might even have them (also big box stores: advance o'rilies autozone) at a better price?

ID engineering number: D3TA-7326-EA = Ford part number: D3TZ-7326-F = replaced by: D6TZ-7326-A = C6 trans shift rod.

1973/79 F100/150 4WD, 1977 F250 4WD from serial number Y20,001; 1978/79 F250 4WD & Bronco; 1979 F350 4WD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ID engineering number: D3TA-7326-DA = Ford part number: D3TZ-7326-D

ID engineering number: D3TA-7328-AA = Ford part number: D3TZ-7328-A

ID engineering number: D3TA-7328-BA = Ford part number: D3TZ-7328-B
You posted the ID engineering numbers marked on the rods. I crossed them over to Ford part numbers.

What year is the Bronco?

Bill,
Thanks. I hear you on the engineering / part numbers misnomer.

I acquired these things in a big old pile of parts that were all supposedly from Broncos of various years, but all of the "early" bronco platform (66-77).
But that doesn't sound to be entirely true as Ford never installed a C-6 into an EB.

From the same guy, I also acquired a chassis from a 73 Bronco and I believe that was the "youngest" Bronco he had ever owned.
So my best GUESS would have been that some of these parts in question would have been from that '73 chassis.

So, you don't actually need these shift rods for your Bronco, you just want to know what they fit. Correct?

Yes, that is correct. I have an aftermarket column and Hurst floor shifter.

I am sure somebody can use them, but only if there was a way identify their applications short of trial and error.

Broncos had RAT, RAN & HEF manual trans which may have used different pieces as well as a potential difference between 6cyl. & V-8 applications due to the different length adapter placed between the tranny and transfer case.

I have visited all of the Bronco vendors and I can't seem to find any that sell reproduction type transmission linkages (specific to Bronco anyways- cjponyparts has Mustang linkages)

Awesome! Thank you so much.

I may have misread that first engineering number (that crosses over to a c-6 linkage). I'll go recheck that one again.

Funny thing is though that the last part number you supplied D3TZ-7326-E with the missing engineering number, if using the same renaming nomenclature as evident in the other pieces, could possibly be the shift rod that you said was for a C6 in post number three. ????

I will go measure it (and verify engineering #) to see if it is 19" .
Thanks again!

No.

D3TA-7326-EA = D3TZ-7326-E

This is a 2/3 3 speed M/T shift rod, see applications in pic below (U = Bronco).

Not to sound dense here.....,
but the **engineering** number on the only remaining part in question is:
D3TA-7326-EA

are you saying that this IS **part** number D3TZ-7326-E or did I miss something?

(Not that it means anything, but it does measure the same 19" as noted)

D3TZ-7326-E part number listed in post #9.

The ID engineering number D3TA-7326-EA is listed in the Ford Master Cross Reference Catalog. Since it's on bound paper, I cannot post a pic of the reference..

Good enough.

I was just checking because in post 3 you had mentioned:
ID engineering number: D3TA-7326-EA = Ford part number: D3TZ-7326-F = replaced by: D6TZ-7326-A = C6 trans shift rod.
