Anybody ever see one that looks like this?

Well, it looks correct when I type it, but it doesn't come out right when I submit. You do get the idea, Right?
Nobody can figure out how to make my truck go backwards. Maybe it's a good anti-theft device? I also have to remember not to shift into 5th gear!

may its straight down itstead of over and up. or maybe it over and down i can't remember. reverse has tension when you go torwards it.

might not be the right shift knob.
you either have a
NP435 (reverse is to the right and down)
or T-18 (reverse is to the right and up) (Like your knob says)
Kinda doubt you have a 5 speed in there!

I installed a engine/tranny combo in an old crew cab I had , and kept having to pull the shift tower off to get it into reverse. Took me forever to figure out that I inadvertantly swapped in a T-18 and reverse was the other way!

Looks like you have the T-18 in there.

From the Manual Transmission Identification Guide:

NP-435

T-18

Yeah, T18 I want a knob like that.

Another thing Keith is that the T-19's had the same shift pattern as the NP-435's.

So has anybody seen a knob with the T18 pattern on it? Or know where i could find one?

I have one. I got it at an impound yard. It's not pretty. Has that
'experianced' look like the rest of the truck.

If my wife ever gives my camera back, I'll take a picture.

Do you want tp part with it? After I see the picture, of course.

It's on the shift lever. It took me a while to find that one! No
