Does anyone know where to get a replacement shift arm? I currently have auto floor shifter and want to move back to a column shift.

Is there anything else missing in the column? Or was it just the upper arm/lever that was removed?
Figured I better check in case you end up needing more than just the shift lever.

And speaking of semantics… Are you speaking of the shift arm/rod between the column and the transmission under the hood by any chance? Or just the arm/lever up at the steering wheel on the column?
Or maybe both! :)

And what year is your bronco? Just wondering if it originally came with an automatic, or maybe it had been swapped in later at the same time the shifter was put on the floor.

The arm on the column by the steering wheel. Just need the arm is all. It is a 77 and 20 years ago I removed it when I put in the B&M shifter. The crap you think are cool when you are young change as you get older...lol

I bought mine from Northeast, linked in previous. You're a better person than I am if you saved all your other parts! I mangled my collar so I had the replace that. I'd still say you will need new set pin and rubber grommet, and make sure you have the spring and screw.

Go to your local auto wreckers and pull one off a 67-77 Ford truck. They only charge $10-20 for them.

All you have to do here is drive around in the country and you can find a plethora of junkyards, or as I prefer to call them, “shopping centers”. Lol. Granted, the larger yards don’t have earlier than mid 2000s but there are yards here that only stock the vintage models.

your local yard may have them, but 99% of junkyards don't stock anything that old, much less one local to the person happening to be looking for that part.

Want to help the guy? Go pull one for him and ship it to him for $50. He gets the part for less than ebay pricing, you help an EB owner out, and make a few dollars to boot.

We’re just upset because they keep closing Pick-n-Pulls around here. And those that are left, have long since scrapped out their old stuff.
Wasn’t long ago we could get that kind of thing and a lot more around here “in the big city” so to speak, too.
Going the way of the Gooneybird, as we used to say… 😩

I can't think of any yards around me that would have one, but I know of a few tree rows with Fords. I think I know most of the owners. Does anyone know if it has to be from a pickup or would an old 70's Tbird have the same column shift handle? I saved everything from the old column except that for some reason. thanks guys.

Did you ever find what you were looking for? I might have a spare.
