First question, WHY?
with all the rest of it tore up in there isnt that kinda like putting new wiper blades on a busted windshield?
second, did you make that?
personally I like my column shifter to be as out of site as possible
but to each his own
if you made it good job on that

I think it looks pretty cool. It's nice to see people trying different things with their trucks.

thanx for the comments guys....first off...i should be getting new instrument trim tommorow...second... where i work at i use a CNC machine to make shafts for electrical motors and this is a scrap one that i cut, ground and polished, then drilled a hole for it to slip over the shifter and another hole drilled and tapped for a set screw on the back......i did the same thing for my other ***** in my other thread
