Kickdown rod
Will this kickdown rod for a 80-86 Bronco/F150 work for my 77 with c6?
ebay
PO swapped in a 351w, but never set the transmission up all the way. I got the proper pin and clip for the gear selector (Now it doesn't stick), but then I noticed the kickdown rod is missing. The truck has a Carter AFB and the linkage is there on the side for the rod.

E1UZ-7A187-A .. C6 Kickdown Rod / Obsolete
1981 E100/350 351W // 1981/91 E100/250 302 /// 1981/87 F150/350 & Bronco 351W 2V // 1981/91 F100/250 & Bronco 302.
This rod will not work on your '77 truck. What series is it, 2WD or 4WD, what engine did it come with originally?

Applications for this ebay rod are incorrect and the seller failed to list its length.

1977 w/a 302 would have a C4. C6 wasn't available until 1978 w/a 300 I-6 or 302.
4th digit of the VIN is the engine code: B = 300 1V I-6 // G = 302 2V // H = 351M // J = 460 // S = 400

C4 has 11 trans pan bolt holes, C6 has 17.
.
O23506 = Last 6 digits of the VIN decode to a 1977

The C6 trans ID tag was bolted to the servo cover on the left side of the case, but by now, most of these tags are missing.
Both the 351W and the C6 are probably from a car, LTD or Mercury Marquis for examples. 351W introduced in 1969 Ford/Merc Passenger Cars, wasn't available in F150/350 & Bronco until 1981.

Yes, I looked for the tag, but it is long gone. I do think the 351w might be from an 80's or 90's vehicle as it has a serpentine belt system (not sure when that started), but I don't think it was an upgrade to an older engine.
So where does this leave me in my search for a compatible kickdown rod?

The casting number prefix on the trans case is from the 1970's. D = decade = 1970's, 2nd digit is the year, 3rd digit is the vehicle it's for, 4th digit P is A/T related.
The 2nd digit of the prefix is hard to make out, but if it's D1AP-7006-AA = 1971. 3rd digit A = Galaxie/LTD/Mercury Marquis.
There is no Ford kickdown rod that will work, plus since the trans is probably from a car, the manual control selector lever that the rod attaches to...is different than a truck.
You'll have to use a "universal fitz-all" Lokar cable.
