Steering Column Repair: Need to know about a part for my gear shift, ford steering column, ford f150

Question
My truck is a 1992 Ford F150 and i went to put it in gear and the shifter just made a pop sound and dropped down limp and the truck is stuck in drive. When we took the steering column apart the piece that the shifter goes into is broken but i have no idea what that part is called so that we can try to get a new one. Do you have any idea what the part i need is called??

Answer
Hi Jessica:

Sorry about your truck.  
We have recently uploaded pages and a description of how to repair and/or rebuild the shift tube of a Ford steering column.  They are broken down into step by step detailed instructions on our website. Although the example is for a different vehicle than yours, the column is identical to yours (tilt and non tilt use the same housing)
