Shift knob help???

[EMD-Run8]

I've been looking around at shift knobs. Mr. Billet has some nice ones that match our shift pattern but I don't know if thread is correct. Can't seem to get in touch with anyone with Mr. Billet. The nice black ones from Summit for the T56 look good too but I think they are the wrong thread. Anyone got any other suggestions? How 'bout a way to get a live person with Mr. Billet?

There was a member on here who made some beautiful (in my opinion) shifter knobs with custom Cummins symbols on them. But I think he went off to Iraq and isn't making them anymore...

That be Heber Ram, he left here, main land USA to the big Island in the south pacific. He used to chime in now and then, but haven't heard from him for a long time. He isn't doing them any more.

just my penny's worth.

I bought two from www.richardsstuff.com. They are both black and billiard ball size. One has the six speed pattern engraved in it and filled with white and the other for my transfer case has the "Lady Luck" embedded in it. They are available with metric fittings for our trucks. Price is fair.

So what are the size and thread pitch of our stock shifters?

i made my own out of a #2 billiard ball. used a 5/16" threaded steel wood insert that i drilled out and tapped with 10x1. 5 and epoxied it into the ball... i like it.
