Re: Common problem with the shift lever linkage?
The late 80's was a horrible time for Ford engines, they are/were over complicated and a royal pain to work on.
The 302 even in an F150 is probably going to be under powered and will make you very unhappy.
Shift levers should not break, something in the transfer case was probably seized and who ever was driving could not get it to shift and probably kicked it and broke it off. Welding it back together or replacing it are the only two options.
In my opinion I would pass on this truck and either look for something 1978 or older or 1996 or newer.
