What Do You Think??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 04-22-2007, 03:28 AM

When you see something in this case a shifter like this what comes to mind??? Does it bring thoughts of kool school, crap, is it safe, why didn't I think of that, thats really uniqe etc. I think you get the jest of what I mean. Be honest and say what really comes to mind.

esll.

I`d think,"Hmmm...that`s pretty neat."I`d take an over 1" wrench and bend it.I wonder if you could find hex stock to slip into the wrench to make a t-handle?

Bishops Trucks · 04-22-2007, 07:25 AM

I'm liking it, especially after Tim's idea.

68 P.O.S. · 04-22-2007, 08:54 AM

Hmm, interesting. I think I like it.

onetonk5 · 04-22-2007, 09:17 AM

Looks very New School jump on the everybodys doing it bandwagon. I would think a older Hurst handle would look much better.

Longhorn Man · 04-22-2007, 09:24 AM

there's a guy on here who has a wrench for a shifter, box end up... I've always thought it was neater than two chicks kissin personally.

I AGREE!

scrapmetalart · 04-22-2007, 12:05 PM

You can come up with something better. old wrench...

CG · 04-22-2007, 12:15 PM

Ive seen it done before. Doesnt do anything for me, but hey its your ride and if you love it go for it. My personal choice is a longer arm with a skull shifter, of course skulls have been way over done, but I still like em

72armyswbtruck · 04-22-2007, 12:25 PM

just what cg said

cdowns · 04-22-2007, 01:14 PM

not the most original idea// been seeing that for well over 30years

71chevylowrider · 04-22-2007, 01:39 PM

what do the 2 chicks that are gonna be kissing look like?

DoobieBrother · 04-22-2007, 01:50 PM

You thinking of something like this? The guy is using them for his air ride controls. It can be cool. Just depends on wrenches chosen, their function, and the rest of the cab's look.

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 04-22-2007, 04:50 PM

Saw this on "KillBillet" a Rat Rod forum and just wondered what you guys thought.

esll.

RACINJASON22 · 04-22-2007, 06:19 PM

I like it actually. I have used a small piston as a gear shift knob before myself but it's not uncommon IMO. You should have seen some of the stuff myself and others at the dirt track have used for shift rod, shift linkage, shifters them selves and knobs.

Gotta go with what ya got. Some I won't even admit to. RJ22

*72CSTC5* · 04-22-2007, 06:22 PM

That would be nice. Cut of the bottom end, notch the shifter so it would fit in to the slot and weld away!! Love the interior in that 88-94 chevy truck. Clean!!

Scott Webster · 04-22-2007, 11:16 PM

I bought a dodge once with a budweiser draft handle for a shifter knob. I never found a good enough use for it so I gave it to a friend who likes bud. Gofigure though - he uses it atop his shifter in his mudder...........

AO50 · 04-22-2007, 11:41 PM

One wrench less to look for in the tool box.
