Heres one we made out of a 5hp briggs lawn mower piston. My dad brought it to work and CNC engraved the 4wd shift pattern in it.

I was thinking of taking an automatic column shifter and cutting it off at the base. Then, weld about a 15/16" wrench to it. That way you can wrench on your truck all day long!

This one is going in the truck:

This one is in my Subaru. Yeah, I know.

Seems like I saw someone on here had a picture of a floor shifter where he'd used a big combination wrench-- like 2-inch or bigger. He had the box end sticking up to grab hold of. Looked pretty cool.
