It appears that HURST tags all their sticks with their logo, its a pride thing I guess, kinda cool, well and my stick aint got not HURST written on it, does yours? (run out to the garage and check, we'll hold.... lol)

here are some of the HURST stick charts I consulted

SHIFTER STICKS Steel Sticks Page 40

SHIFTER STICKS Steel Sticks Page 41

same goes for the shift knob, it is also a GM creation, as I do not see any that look like our stock one (with that Overdrive feature) on HURST's website
The stick itself is made by GM because it's specific to whatever vehicle they were putting it in. There's nothing really special about the stick. The tang has to mate with the shifter base and the bends have to be formed so you don't run into the dash or the seat.
