I might do something really different, but might be more subtle than I want. It would mean giving up the Hurst shifter (and not sure I'd want to). I have the 4spd shift knob from a Corvair 95 pickup with the pattern. It's the same knob used with truck 4spds and transfer cases. I could fab the lever using a 4spd shifter or t-case shifter. It would be a "Did GM do that?" kind of thing, but I think I'd rather have them asking that about the iconic Hurst shifter

Well for info on the handle, this is for a 55-57 Chevy passenger car, I went this route because I had the handle on hand from my grandmothers 55 Chevy, we swapped the Muncie for a T10 with stock spaghetti linkage.
A more factory looking option that might work is a 68-72 Chevelle bench seat handle. They make the handle thats been converted for a Hurst base, but it will be stamped with the correct "Muncie" on the handle. Its got a pretty good bend in it and should defiantly work in a truck in the V8 location.
