Thanks Larry, I always thought diamond tuft was the top of the upholstery chain, above pleat and roll.
One last thought on the Hurst shifter, for anyone wanting the pickup truck shifter, it might be good to consider one of the passenger car shifters instead. The shift mechanism and rods are the same per transmission type, but the handle changes for each application. As shown in the 1st picture above, the stick that comes with the truck application shifter is ridiculously long (in my opinion). I believe it is part number 5384331, 16.5" long, and with the shifter head mounted under the floor the knob is at dashboard height.
There are passenger car applications that come with handles 5386900 (13.5" tall) or 5387236 11.12" tall). They all have the same shape, but I much preferred the 5386900 height. I've attached another picture to show the difference. The shorter height can be seen by how close the Hurst name stamped in the stick is closer to the boot. You can see the various sticks mentioned at the 2nd link to Summitracing.

The new site under B&M stinks by comparison. There may be more info available if a person is interested enough.
