thanks guys, much appreciated.
nacho dog - shifter (stick) was from Speedway - it's the Lokar 16.5" stick, listed in the parts list above (I hope).
The actual shifter mechanism was purchased from Ebay and it is a Hurst product. This guy bought up the inventory when Hurst stopped producing the shifter - here's his listing:
