The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Stovebolt shift knob!!!!!

I got my stovebolt shift knob today!! They are REALLY nice!! You should check them out, I was the first buyer. One of the first things I've ever been first at. Dave

Where did you get it? Do you have a picture?

Look to the left of this post. Uncle Sam will give you the information you are seeking.

Thanks for posting

As a habit I tend to ignore banners on web pages. Sadly I didn't even realize what was under uncle sam.

Just placed my order


10% going to stovebolt.com
good deal





.

I also tend to ignore banners on web pages. I never looked. I will order now.

THose are really cool. I want one once I get my truck on the road.

I checked them out a few days ago, pretty neat. Got me thinking of ways to adapt one to work with a column shift.

Hey, a big "thank you" to all you guys that have ordered knobs. You're helping to keep this site going. I will be working this weekend to make a few more and I'll be shipping them out on Monday, June 11.

Those are really great looking. For the older trucks (I have a 46) is the threaded hole bigger or smaller than the shift rod? I was wondering if I could thread the shift rod for it to fit? Thanks.

A heads up to those thinking of buying one of Mike's knobs. It's an EXCELLENT product and looks quite nice in my '38. Goes good with my interior. (ignore the dust on the dash)

Daves46pu, I have a 41 with 3-speed and I just threaded mine with a fine thread 3/8" and it worked great. Mike sends you the adapter for that application when you order.

Mike is one of us! He is helpful about odd threads and has a site that has all kinds of bushings that he doesn't have. I needed one. My knob goes out in his next shipment! I can't wait!

best wishes,

Les

Mine is also being shipped on Monday. I can't wait! Since I'm now putting my 37 back together, it will be the last piece I put on as a finishing touch.

I would love to make one of these into a spinner/suicide knob. Has anyone seen just a steering wheel mount that I might be able to retrofit?

Mike, I got mine today. Its a very nice piece and it's a good fit for my hand, not too big, not too small, its perfect. Thanks

Excellent! Thanks Chato. I'm glad you like it.

A few more of you guys who ordered last week should be receiving them in the next day or so.

Hi Mike, I have a '57 with a lokar shifter. It has a button in the center that I have press in order to put the truck in gear. Do you make a knob that accommodates this ?

Roy

Hi One Ear Dicky. I'm running the same shifter in my '58.

Lokar makes an adapter so that you can use a regular solid knob instead of the Lokar knob with the button in the middle.

It works good. Instead of pushing the button to change gears, you press down on the whole knob.

I believe it takes a 3/8-24 adapter to fit it to the Lokar adapter, which I can supply.

Very Nice!


I like the new banner ad on the side of the page also

My Kid likes the treasure bag it came wrapped in.

thank you

Thanks Dads50. Wow! That's really a great pic! Would you mind if I used it?

I do not mind at all

Its a real nice item.
I missed out on the licence topper wizzerrick made a few years ago.
Wanted to make sure I got in on this one

Thanks again

Mike (Old Gold), got mine yesterday. It's awesome, I love it!! Can't wait to finish the truck & install it. Thank you!!

Just got mine Mike. thanks, looks great!

The Stovebolt Flagship (Ole Charlie) has it's new knob in place -- beautiful! Thanks for doing this, Mike!

John

It's my pleasure, John! Thanks everyone, for your kind words.

Hi Mike, you still making these?

...link...

there is an email address on the page above

I got mine months ago. It gets more compliments than anything else on my trunk. Dads50....that is one GREAT photo !! I also noticed the old style registration pocket ...cool.

Beautiful work. Reminds me of the Stovebolt license plate topper I saw somewhere. Who makes those? Are they still manufactured?

Mike did a great job on the shift knob

Had almost forgotten to order my shift knob, the 41 project is in the assembly stage and will need it soon. Thanks Mike the knobs look great.

Just ordered a knob for my '50. Showed the picture DADS50 posted and she was sold, thanks DADS.
Thanks too Old Gold, nice work. Looking forward to seeing it in my truck.

Hey thanks everyone!! I appreciate your nice comments!

Huh? Who's Uncle Sam?

Here is another link to the knob. There had been a photo/link on the left - it is now gone. Let's see how long this link is good.

Here is another link to the knob.

Thanks for the link. Nice knobs! Thought I was losing it, looking for this Uncle Sam!

Someone above had a great idea... Make some into a wheel spinner aka Suicide knob... What are the chances you'd do that ? I know they are illegal in most states but we'd buy them anyway...

Mike really did a good job with these and he has been faithful to send in the donation for the site. All around good guy. We will get that little square back on the forum column as soon as I can.

Gus, that picture of the knob is impressive. I have a suicide knob on my Sebring (required as I am a para). I may have to see if I can switch out for one of these. Not a Stovebolt but HA, I'm the worker bee, right? LOL

Peg

Mike my shift Knob arrived this weekend and it is beautiful, now I think that I may need one in black also. Will be in touch...

Hi folks. I've thought about making a suicide knob. It's a good idea, BUT...

1) I don't have a source for the quality hardware I would need.
2) It would require a completely different manufacturing process
3) but mostly, I'm not sure I would want to be responsible in case of a product failure having to do with something as vital as steering. That part makes me a little nervous.
