It's the hook off the steering column that the gear shift indicator cable hooks into... Outside of robbing one off a junker any one else have any ideas or a part number I could order?

I think robbing one off the junkyard column is going to be your best bet.

I've been known to shift by feel. Feel the notches and go to drive. If someone else drives it, that might be a problem. A junker is your best bet. Yeah, you CAN make one, but a junk yard part is more economical on time and money.

If welding isn't an option, you could try cleaning the crust off of it and jb welding it. Just build it up a little around the break and taper it into the piece both ways. Might be just as easy to get another though.
