Stock 3-speed manual column shift lever help

Continuing the search for parts on our '59 Apache shop truck, one part I can't seem to find reproduced is the manual shift lever on the column.

Ours obviously has been used, broke, fixed and used again. It's been broken off about 2" above the lower base and was bubble gum welded back together. to top that off, the holes for the pins it pivots on are pretty wobbled out of round making the shift action loose and very "vague".

So I'm making a wild swag that the lever would be the same across all years of TF trucks from 55-59. Am I right or way off base? Are there any reproductions? I've searched and came up with nothing.

I'm pretty set to start looking for a good used one, but not sure if I can widen the search by years or I have to narrow it down.

Thanks for the help!

I believe I've got what you need. Let me check at the shop later this morning. I'll post a couple of pics if I can find it.

Here's the deal. These should both be out of the '55.2-'59 truck. The black one was in my wife's '54 when we got it and has been lengthened somewhat to fit the older truck. I think there's enough good parts here to make one, at least.



$20 plus the ride for the pair.

Let me know if you need anything else. I have some of those parts. My only problem is I will not be able to get the parts until around Thanksgiving.
