Start with Jim Carter's, he is one of the oldest and my have a used on in his graveyard.

Good day OrrieG,
Thanks for the reply and the information! Indeed, I looked for a few hours and could not find anything. If I had a good picture of one, I could probably make a suitable replacement. The one that I currently have is clear plastic and has pencil marks for the various shift positions and so I am not stuck... but I would like something that looks authentic.
Thanks for the background history. I never realized that they had auto transmissions that early. My '59 which I sold to get the '57 had a modern transmission (Turbo 350), but was originally standard... which I assumed was for all the older trucks... boy was I wrong!
Cheers,
Sam
