How to remove shifter knob?

Hey,
I have a 1986 GMC Sierra and I'm trying to remove the knob from the shifter for 2H, 4H, Neutral, and 4L but it doesn't screw off so I thought it must pull off, but it doesn't even seem to budge.

Can anyone tell me the correct way to remove it? Maybe I just need to pull harder?

Has it got a lock nut under the knob, that slowed me up when I removed my 4 speed

205 shifter on my truck has a lock nut under it. While sitting in the driver's seat put a wrench on the nut, other end of wrench pointing to seat. Pull toward driver. Then, just spin the knob off counter clockwise. It's easy once the nut is loose.

It doesn't have a nut under it.

I attached a picture of it.
