Column shifter knobs

[pat]

Where did you guys get yours? Mine is all rusty. I bought a kit from Summit that only came with the knob, I need it all. Also bought another one off ebay that was supposed to fit my truck, but didnt, so I returned it.

If you are asking about the column shifter arm and knob I just swapped mine out for one from a 1961 Impala.
I am collapsing part of the column to get more room behind the wheel [learned about his here!] and the shifter was then a little close to the dash. The Impala arm and knob are almost three inches shorter with a little more angle and clears everything just fine.
It is a very natural movement now to shift with a couple fingers without taking your hand off the wheel.
Part of the problem was also the Grant custom wheel being smaller diameter than the original wheel [like, what isn't smaller].
The move and the new shifter gives a lot of extra room

I have a Grant wheel too and my shifter sticks out too far.
Thanks for the tip
