I had the same thing happen about 2 months ago. The bodyman said it is really common for the sheet metal under the latch mechanism to get stress cracks. He took two large washers and sandwiched the crack under the latch, and problem solved.

My 93 F-250 is the same way. I bought two replacements from the dealer and they both ended up breaking. Neither time did they say anything about the cable possibly being bad. I had to find that out from another Ford owner who went through it too. He found chrome metal handles in some catalogue, but he didn't remember the name.
I'm going to check for the stress cracks and buy a new cable and hopefully find out where he got the chrome handles.

yes the 80-86 F series handles should be interchangable with the bronco's up to 96-97... Oh and you might want to look in the misc parts aisle at the local auto zone, orielys, napa... They usually have the plastic and metal versions of the handles for $5-$10!
