Shift column-Auto
I have 68 F100 2wd auto and I need to replace the shift column collar. Has anybody replaced this? I have a friend that ordered one for his 74 F100 and it did fit correctly. So he put in a floor shift instead of trying to find another column. If there are still availbe from Ford that would be great.

The shift pointer is no longer made as part of the collar like the original. The 1973/77 collar has a rectangular cutout, and into that slides a plastic shift pointer, which comes with the collar kit.
D5TZ7228A .. Shift Collar Kit / Fits: 1961/77 F100/350
MSRP: $55.57 / ftepartsguy.com price: $40.01
I did an internet search for the Ford original..no dealer or obsolete parts seller has any. You may find one in a junkyard, but it prolly won't be one bit better than yours.

At one time, NAPA sold two replacement shift collars, one for the 3 speed M/T, one for the A/T...they looked identical to the originals.
But make sure you get the type for the A/T. The Ford part number for the A/T original: C9TZ-7228-A which replaced C8TZ-7228-A which replaced C5TZ-7228-B.

If your friend bought a shift collar for his truck, and it "did fit correctly," why did he change to a floor shift?
Did you mean to say it didn't fit correctly?
Here's what the problem may have been...the stick shift collar looks similar, but it won't fit any A/T equipped truck!
