I got a 1963 fleetside... and wanted to change the knob on my three on the tree. I've tried playing with it to see if it is screwed on but seems to just turn and turn. So if I heard right, you guys think it is just glued on? Any suggestions on how to get the old one off and replace with a new one?
I'd appreciate any suggestions. I've tried to take it off with little success. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 388 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 388 | My 66' had an old shifter knob so when I rec'd the new one, I just cut the old knob off with a dremel tool and glued the new one on. Good luck

So I'm going to try to pull it off once the heat picks up around here. Might make it a little more flexible and try to pry that puppy off. Thanks for the insight though. I wanted to put a new knob on or a custom knob of some sort. A outfit here in Southern Cali called mooneyes has some cool knobs to try. Not too pricey either. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 37 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 37 | If it's glued on now...maybe heat it up with a blow dryer. That may loosen up old glue. Maybe grip it with some vice grips...tap upwards under the vise-grips with rubber mallet forcing it up off the metal rod. I have newer tranny so my shifter knob is the thread (screw) on type.
