I don't think you're going to find an aftermarket shifter. My dumb question is why do you want one?

Obviously you have never used a Hurst or B&M shifter. The whole shift pattern is smaller than the Ford Factory shifter's neutral position. Ford shifters are the sloppiest I've seen, but I still prefer my Ford over a Chevy or Dodge.

Check out Lokar, they have several neat looking shifters; also, check out the mags like Rod & Custom, they have a lot of adds for all kinds of replacement stuff.

If you've got a TRUCK four speed with granny low, it doesn't exist. Yes I've used aftermarket shifters on CAR trannys, but that's not what you indicated.
