Bigger.(and or automatic click back) turn signal levers for 1973 Bronco?

Hello Bronco folk!

I am curious and searches yielded little. I've seen some early broncos in parking lots with bigger turn signal levers on their steering columns than the dinky small a#$ one that comes with the stock.

My questions are:
1) Where does one buy a bigger turn signal lever?
2) Are there options with an auto-click back to home position after finishing a turn?

Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Not sure about the bigger ones, unless you've seen the '66 and '67 models (I think it was) that had the slightly longer black plastic end on them.
But they are ALL supposed to go full auto-off when you turn the wheel. But they are all susceptible to breaking the cancelling cam lever thingy. Even the originals, though the new ones seem to not last as long as the originals unfortunately. Gee, whod'a seen that coming...%)

Most of us have this replacement part: https://www.wildhorses4x4.com/product/Turn-Signal-Canceling-Cam/Bronco_Stock_Column_Parts
Take your wheel off and look at yours. The two longer ears are probably broken off. Very common in colder weather as the plastic ages.

But while it's off, look at the back of your steering wheel to make sure it's still got a good cancelling cam lobe thingy clipped on. It's the part that rotates past the two fingers and clicks the turn signals off. Should look like one of these, but with two lobes rather than just the one of the reproductions: https://www.wildhorses4x4.com/product/Turn-Signal-Turn-Off-Cam/Bronco_Stock_Column_Parts

I'm guessing that certain models of vehicle got the single one, and that's what is being reproduced and seems to work. But I've only ever seen Broncos with 2-fingered cams.

Many rebuilt/restored/restomodded Broncos have aftermarket columns or columns swapped in from other vehicles mainly to get tilt wheel. Perhaps you saw one or more of these when you saw larger levers?
