There are countless custom ***** out there. It all depends on what style you are looking for or how much you are looking to spend.

Let us know more of the style you are interested in and I'm sure we can set you off in the right direction. When I was looking, I was looking for a more realistic skull **** and came across one even better than I had hoped for.

I ended up getting the one with the Firefighter Helmet.

Just a couple of ideas.

4 Speed Billet Aluminum Shift ****

UNIVERSAL HURST T-HANDLE - BRUSHED FINISH

Just remember your **** will need to be able to accept 3/8-24 threads. Most anything can be adapted to work.

Beer tap handle of course!!! Was my first welding project in high school. I had a juice box so I cut and modified the shifter arm so it was straight up and level with the dash in park. Looked like a tap in the truck when it was parked. . Being a 4x you could put your favorite on the shifter and a lite beer one on the tcase. And if your not 21 forget you ever saw me as alcohal is bad and the root of all evil blah blah bah blah.

Actually with a little bit of mechanical inclination you can pretty much make anything you want into a ****. A few nuts of the correct size epoxied into a fat hole drilled into the bottom of almost anything and you have an easy easy ****.

I'm making one for my T case out of this gnarled piece of wood I found.

Make your own! Find/buy a billiard ball, figure out the threads (my NP435's is 3/8-24), drill a hole, and epoxy the correct size nut into the hole. The only thing you have to watch out for is not to drill too deep or you won't be able to set the jamb nut.

If you are asking me....... Josh does not do any dragon stuff that I have seen.

I did find this. Look towards the bottom of the page on the left.

8 ball on the shifter (truck is black) and a cool metal-flake Peterbuilt **** on the T-case shifter. If you look around the art supply joints you can find a small casting kit and make you own too, it's fun and you get a one of a kind **** that you made.
