I have searched with no luck.... is anyone reproducing the np 205 shifter knob

I’ve never seen one anywhere Ken - but I’d be interested to know if they are repro’ed also.

Classic Heartbeat has reproduction NP205 knob for 1971-73 model years.

I remember seeing one made. And I think I also remember some sort of negative comments, like the font is off or not as deeply engraved, maybe. But the one Wes has may be a better recreation. Especially if it's one he produced

Thanks. That's a BIG help

Seriously does help. How do pictures get so big when we have people unable to post pictures because "the file is too large"?

Sorry for the late reply but I had a really hard time signing in for about 2 months. The Truck Shop out of California has 2 available.

Because the "BIG" picture was posted as an image link and is actually hosted on the classicheartbeat site. The smaller image below it was "attached/uploaded" to the forum using the "Manage Attachments" link. When you use the "Manage Attachments" link, the forum software, vBulletin, attempts to scale the image down to the maximum allowed size for the forum. Sometimes the file(s) is/are so large, usually when attempting to post multiple large images, you get the "file is too large" error. I've had that happen before and was able to attach them one at a time to the same post and it was able to successfully reduce the size of each image so they could be posted in one post without having to resize them with other software prior to uploading.

Also, there doesn't appear to be a maximum file size or dimension when using the "image link" button. That's how we end up with HUGE images that require scrolling to see the entire picture.
