4X4 gear shift knob? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 04-07-2005, 08:39 AM

I bought a 4X4 gear shift knob off ebay I was told it was out of a 72 it had the numbers and letters on it. The threads were to big for my 70 jimmy shifter does all 67-72 4X4 shift have the same threads on the gear shift or is 72 differant than the rest. thanks Gary

I'm not sure if the earlier ones were avail. with a pattern. I think I need the 72 version and will check on the one that does not fit mine if you might be interested in trade.

I have 2 of the ones that fit mine I wanted the 72 one for the numbers and letters can someone check the diameter of the threads on the shifter if yours is a 72 with numbers and letters on it.

The '70 blazer/jimmy didn't have symbols on the shift knob, they had the sticker on the glovebox door.

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 04-07-2005, 03:15 PM

I no they had the sticker I didnt want to put that sticker on my glove box

blazerparts · 04-07-2005, 03:42 PM

well, maybe when they changed from sticker to symbols on knob the diameter of ****er changed.

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 04-07-2005, 04:00 PM

That is what I am tring to find out maybe I need the hole shifter

OneBad4x4 · 04-07-2005, 04:22 PM

well i have a shift knob with numbers for 205 t case out of an 82...

bouncytruck · 04-07-2005, 04:24 PM

What transfer case do you have in your Jimmy? Some '69s and possibly early '70s had the DANA 20. If your truck is a 3spd, it might be a DANA 20.

pound41 · 04-07-2005, 04:50 PM

It will not fit I have a 70 that has no letters on the knob and a 71 that has them. I to wanted one with the letters for my 70. Bought a mint one from pickupman it was too big took mine off my 71 and checked it. a 69-70 transfercase shifter has a different thread at least mine does

My 70 doesn't have a sticker on the glovebox. The shift pattern is on the boot hold-down ring attached to the floorboard. I do still have the caution sticker on the glovebox though.

Sometimes I think they put the stickers wherever they felt like it-- I have seen them above the rearview mirror and on the sun visor.

Gary 70 Jimmy - I was looking for a knob for my np205 and in the attached thread, many other members got into the discussion of thread sizes. Thought the following link might be helpful for you.

I have a 205 transfer
Thanks for thr link widow maker I will try the 7/16 die maybe I can get enough theads to get it on.

**D.PASSMORE** · 04-08-2005, 11:45 AM

Threads are a 7/16 NF and pattern is NP 205: from top - 4L,N,2H and 4L.
There is a thin 7/16 nut that fit on the shifter threads underneath the knob to lock it in place.

**Gary 70 Jimmy** · 04-09-2005, 03:06 PM

Does any one have a 205 shifter with the 7/16 thread that they would like to sell or trade for one with a 3/8 thread with the gear shifter knob
