I started doing just that yesterday! Gonna use the head part of a
Taco Bell Godzilla cupholder for the shift knob till I find something
that strikes me as perfect. Fill the head with bondo and slip the tip
of the shifterand nut into the bondo after giving them a light coat of
vaseline. I'll try it out on a test bolt and nut first. I think
it'll look pretty cool. Taking about three inches off of the shifter
length - glad I got long arms.

PS - I sent a message to Hurst the other day asking why they have
ignored the ONLY "smaller/midsize truck with a V8 option" market.
Maybe I'll get a reply.

Grab the shifter lower down. This will reduce through. If your really
into
it, you could cut the shifter and mount a new ball on the end.

No gripes with my shifter when running around town, but such a long
throw kid of sucks at the track.
