Hurst T handle installed
Since I have Big Red down for some paint work I finally got the T shifter handle installed now I will feel alot better about rippin through the gears and not having it come off in my hand.

Dave,
If I had any vehicle with a manual shifter, I'd dig mine out and install it again. I've kept it over the years, just in case.
At least now, if you break any more rockers, it won't be because of the ball coming off! :-))
Good meeting you and Cookie last month!

Mine is on there so tight it feels like it was forged with the handle.

If they are made out of that plastic or bakelite material, I use to get them off by heating in the oven for awhile...the ball would just pull off with a twisting motion.

I enjoyed the meeting and the lunch
anytime your coming our way give us a call maybe you can meet some of the other chapter members . I might even fire up the grill. I hope that the rest of your trip was uneventful and went as planned.

I have an 84- F-250 4x4 that I did the same thing too. Mine sports the Red/B&M logo. As Dave mentioned. Used a grinder to get the proper size, in order to run a die down, then just screw it down and tighten the back-up nut. Good Job Dave Looks great. Country

Dave,
Only going to Dallas next year, but I'll eventually be passing your way again, and I'll still be driving my 7.3. Trust me. It's indestructible, and it's not going anywhere! They'll bury me in this one!

Use a shaft sized open end as your anvil and tap it straight up with a ballpeen. Won't take much effort once it budges.
