Re: cool shift knob ideas
A little hard to see but my wife has a green marble style knob from Gennie Shifter on her truck.

Re: cool shift knob ideas
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.

Re: cool shift knob ideas
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!

You just don't want anyone catching you drilling and tapping the hole though.

Re: cool shift knob ideas
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.
