New steering column needed?

[Lone Star Blaze]

I hope this is in the right section

Anyway, I'm trying to get my truck back on the road and before it was parked I went to use my turn signal one day and when I hit the levar i heard a crunch and the levar dropped and would not go back into place. I removed the steering wheel thinking it was a easy fix but I found the metal peice circled in red on the lower left side of the inner ring to be broken and i really havent seen anyway to fix this with out permantly distroying the column. So do I need to replace the steering column or is there a way to fix it and how??


I guess i should have made my self live with a floppy turn signal but it was a pain to make it work

Thanks!
