You would be better off posting a foto of which one snapped. I have a spare at home but am unsure of which one you need!
The tie rod is normally the whole link that connects the 2 sides together, a tie rod end is what goes into the knuckle.

Ok, looks like the drag link to me.
That is the tie rod that connects the drag link to the pitman arm from the looks of it. The tie rod is behind the front axle, and connect both sides together. The draglink connect the pitman arm on the steering box, to the passenger side knuckle.
IF the parts store has them, tell them it is the tie rod end that goes to the pitman arm.
To be honest, I would HIGHLY recommend changing all of them myself. You can get a complete drag link assembly:

when I had 1 loose tie rod end, I replaced them all myself. Not something you want to go out on you at 70mph huh?
Best of luck, and keep us posted.

You can replace just the short end, part #QFS000010, it's $30 at Atlantic British. I would check the ball joint on the other end carefully and consider replacing the entire drag link if it even looks a bit worn to prevent the same thing happening on the other side. The complete drag link is part #QHG000070 from AB, its $140.
Max, you mean the part I posted a link to mate? That draglink? :lol:
OP
I would honestly just go ahead and replace everything on there myself. If that was bad enough to snap, the rest wont be far behind.....not to mention, holy rust Batman! I think mine stay rust free from dripping bodily fluids all over itself, but hey it works! :thumb:

Mind, I bet there is some parts guy in California that could hook a brutha up with a low mileage complete tie rod AND drag link for about the same price as just the drag link................. 8)
