    My guess is that it is not threaded on but a 'press fit'. Your truck is in Belgium?

    Most of the aftermarket shift knobs come with adaptor threaded inserts that allow the knob to fit most shift levers.

    If your's in from an American supplier it should have them, when in doubt,,, ask..

    283 man i will do it no problem but.....you must bring him to Belgium:D

    Billybones : yes the truck is in Belgium,bought him last year in California,there are not so mutch over here and also no pieces ! Bought everything in the USA.Costs a lot of money on shipping and customs but thats the name of the game.

    dvalentine : the knob is from the UK and the seller asks the tread to fit,i will search 1 in the USA with an adaptor.

    Thanks for the replys !
    The bodywork go's verry good on the Chevy,all the welding is done,motor is in,interieur is ok.Normaly all done end november.
