OK, I am sick of searching all of this forum and others..and chatting with businesses that don't deal with our vehicles or quite frankly just don't seem to care...I just don't want the rubber coated or faux leather crap anymore the 90's and up came with.
Why is it all the Land Cruiser guys can get theirs reproduced, but we can't? AAARGHHH!
I need to replace a 1980's resin 5 speed shift knob for a truck. It is basically the same style that came in our trucks, Celicas and the Supras. Most of the one's for the trucks were a black resin with the pattern in a clear plastic face with a silver background and chrome letters. Some were red background, and if you were really lucky you could grab a knob off of a Supra since those came matched to the interior accent, as in grey or brown resin instead.
*I want a grey, but will take a black, must have a silver background, and it must be 5 speed R150F/151 patterned.
**If there's a resin transfer case shift knob with a similar pattern to the R150F cases I'd go for that one too.
In other words, like this, but in resin..
or these in resin..
They are out there, and no I am not gonna call Marv (Spector Off-Road) and bug him again, he, like a few others either didn't understand or just didn't care about what I was asking since it isn't land Cruiser stuff.
*Mods, please keep this in our forum side for a bit because, well, yeah it is a borderline classifieds post, but I tried that and everyone couldn't help, because again, "...(blah, blah, blah...Land Cruiser, sorry bro, blah, excuse, excuse) sorry." I don't want excuses or apologies, i want help either getting one or figuring how to reproduce them, even if I have to invest some into it.
***I can't be the only one, right??
[EDIT]: Both amaurer (Andrew) and Mark (mmw68) in this site provide shift knob alternatives.
Amaurer's knobs are reviewed in here and a link has now been added to mmw68's knobs below in post#20.[/EDIT]

smog tech left my doors unlocked. *Luckily I didn't have anything of value in there and actually had the rubber knob to use for now.
Very nice guy to chat with and we can't wait to see 'em done! 
Looks like I'm taking short detour drive after I finish up in the afternoon.
