cdowns · 04-14-2009, 11:07 AM

take a piece of flatstock and cut out a shape that you like weld a piece of threaded rod for the handle or ball drill a couple of hole to mount it to the shifter assy

optional is painting powdercoating or chromeing it

Hottrucks · 04-14-2009, 05:49 PM

I know it's not exactly a knob but go buy yourself a big wrench and weld it on and use the boxed end for the top

Longhorn Man · 04-14-2009, 05:56 PM

like this?

ZombieWeinerDog · 04-14-2009, 05:56 PM

i always wanted to see a pistol grip with the grip looking like a pistol. i have seen them before, but it is always the whole gun not just the grip

HoupPhotography · 04-14-2009, 06:41 PM

Here's mine..... they're not the best shots of the knob but they work.

PanelDeland · 04-14-2009, 06:56 PM

Look for a late 60's Mopar if you're looking for pistol grip shifter.Be sitting down and very relaxed when you ask the price.You may need a paramedic if it's an original.

I have some brass knuckles that im wanting to put on my column shift but im not sure how to do it.
Any one have any pics of brass knuckle knob?

1970 chev truck · 04-15-2009, 12:05 AM

I did this for my four wheel drive, find someone that runs a CNC machine, and have them engrave your shift pattern, this is a piston from a 5hp briggs motor, your options are endless with pistons. One from an air compressor would probably work nice.
Sorry for the fuzzy picture...
