shift knobs

[markeb01]

I’ve collected shift knobs off and on since before I could drive starting with a solid chrome Cal Custom version back in the early 60’s. Our GMC has had quite a few over the years. Here are some of them:

Original stock:



Silver Lokar knob on the long stick:



Black anodized Lokar knob:



Black Gennie on short stick:



Red Enco industrial tool knob on short Gennie stick (the knob cost about $2.00) and came in black or red (I bought and used both):



White Hurst knob: (after Richmond 4 speed installation):



My son’s red metalflake knob:



The current and now permanent knob. This is a blue metalflake knob, I believe is sold by Gennie Shifter:

And I had Kool Knobs make this one. My camera at the time couldn’t capture the red color so it looks bleached out. It was vivid and beautiful in real life. My youngest son has it now:
