NP205 Shift Knob Idea

Since a number of people are looking for correct style knobs, here is an idea...

My GM NP205 knob has a 7/16-20UNF thread. My local farm supply store has F*rd tractor knobs that look just like my NP205 knob (except no shift pattern) with a 3/8-24UNF thread (bummer). If someone wanted to get a little creative I think this could be adapted.

Good idea.Would look more original than a mower piston,8 ball,chrome skull,or crystal door knob.I`ve been in the habit of putting interesting knobs on my shifters and I must not be the only one.Only,I`ve saved mine so I can go back to original.I have a pair of onyx knobs I bought at a truck-stop in`77.I realized a little while back how long I`ve had them and how many vehicles they`ve been in(5).
