Manual lock

So I just got done changing my oil, outside, in this freezing snow here at Pittsburgh. I've only had my truck a couple months, and have yet to "play" with my 4 wheel drive. Since it's snowing pretty good right now and we've gotten a few inches, I took her out to play a lil. 4 wheel works great! But my plasctic piece to lock into and out of, 4wheel broke. Is this a hard piece to find? BTW it's an 84 2.3. Here is a pick of the piece that is no longer there: Name:  1213102154.jpg

There is a distinct possibility, that no one knows the answer. Is there like a screw in the end that you can pull the **** out or do you have to take the hub apart?

Go to a junkyard and get another one off the same truck.

swap front axles. get a gen 3 and get manual locking hubs for it. you still have ttb but warn or other locking hubs instead of the vacum system. however that would be costly and time consuming. i vote the LMC or rock auto route.
