floor shift knob??
k. me n the pops went to pomona CA over the weekend for the swapmeet and car show. found an OG steering wheel 4 $60, i thought that was an amazing deal. but thats not what this thread is about. i bought a shifter knob from the "truck shop". i have a 72 v8 350, 3 on the floor. the knob i was sold doesnt fit on the floor shifter???? i didnt see a different shift knob for my year so i assumed they wer the same size. is ther another knob 4 a floor shift????

Re: floor shift knob??
Sounds like you have an aftermarket shifter. Find out who made it and contact them.

Re: floor shift knob??
A lot of those aftermarket shift knobs were universal fit .... which means they didn't fit everything!
 They often came with a variety of adapter sleeves ... good luck finding one.Barry epoxy??

Re: floor shift knob??
If the hole in the knob is to small drill and re tap, if the hole in the knob is to big find a adapter or heli coil if its close
