Need Knob for auto column shifter?

[Big D]

The plastic knob on my auto, column shifter has been cracked for years. I would like to go with something not plastic. Preferably chrome or aluminum. You guys have any ideas on where to find something to replace the old black plastic knob? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think Ford used a verry simmilar knob on just about everything up to about 1977

If I remeber my mothers 77 LTD station wagon had allmost the exact knob except it was chrome

I have a complete arm with knob from a dismantled auto shifter. Excellent condition.

Any takers?

I've got a 66 Galaxie 500 junker with chrome knob on it, I've been gonna try and retrofit. They are pretty sharp, a little smaller diameter and SHINY!

Sounds like a job for...

Nick's Trix!
He already has the fancy windshield knobs, I can't wait until he starts auto column knobs. Maybe even in black so it would look stock without falling off like the plastic does.
How about real trick, anodize, then machine a nice line in ot so you have a stock looking black knob with a nice little shiny ring detail. Oh the opertunity!!!

Nick, if you wnat I will send you my auto column so you can test fit! Well actuall just the shift lever would be all that I would need to send.
