Need a new shift ****
Hi my 86 f259 with a NP 4 speed tranny needs a new shift ****. well, it dosnt need it, but the one on there dosn't have the shift pattern on it, and if somebody else drives my truck I dont want them to mess it up by puttin it in the wrong gear. can I either re engrave the pattern or where could i get a new ****. Right now it has nothing on it, just a ball. Also, what holds it on?

You should get a skull and carve the shift pattern on the top of that.
Replacements usally use a set screw near the base where you can't see it too well. Make sure it's on tight though, when you get four people in the front seat you don't want someone knocking it off and not have any handle, the top of that lever is sharp when someone knocks or elbow while your shifting.
