You mean you are just looking for the actual chrome Lever ?

That would be the long one.

I thought you were looking for the shifter lever cowl.

Part #D4TA-3511-DWA.
Thanks
D2TZ-7A216-A Insert (detent) Transmission control

D3TZ-3511-D Flange, Upper Steering Column

Flange fits 1973-77 all with A/T

Detent fits all 1970 thru 1977

The flange does NOT come with the detent, unless you buy the flange used.

75short S/C,
Did you have your dealer do a nationwide search for an NOS?
The dealer I use found NOS steering parts for my 77HB in the midwest, twice. Steering shaft-column to gear, ram assist seal kit & control valve rebuild kit.
(I'm in San Diego)

Shift Lever(D3TZ-7210-C)

I've already tried the junk yards around this area, including Tony's Ford Truck Parts in Portland and the chrome shift levers that I found were as bad or worse than what I have. The dealer said that it was no longer stocked, so I;ll do what ever I guess I need to do in repairing this part. I'm sure that I'm not the only one to run into this problem.

Have you looked for the levers out of the Econline van as well as the Bronco or just trucks? Some of the older cars like the Lincoln may have even used a similar lever if not the same. Most of the parts will interchange with little or no modification.

I put the part number on the Ford locator and found one dealership that shows the part # D3TZ 7210 C in stock. According to the locator their inventory was updated on 1/16/07 so there is a decent chance they will have the part.

Griesel Motor Company (Ford dealership)
Highway 81 South
Okarche, Ok 73762
(405) 263-7242

fordpartsguy,
Cannot find the D2TZ-7A216-A Detent. Locator shows none. Can't find it in the re-pro outfits either. Any suggestions? I would make one but can't find the other half of the original.
