Default Old-school looking Hurst shifter on T56?

I was at a car show and there was a guy who had a chrome Hurst stick on his 6-speed in an LT1 Formula. I'm swapping in a 6-spd into my 98 TA soon and was wondering if anyone knew where I could find that. I'm doing a lot of 2nd gen cues on my car and would love to have it. I'm not a big fan of short shifter sticks since I am 6'4" and have fat fingers. I'd prefer something that looks cool since the car is mainly a cruiser/show car.

Anyone know?

Sounds like the hurst Billet shifter... lots of our sponsors carry them.

EDIT: Here you go, 1/2 way down the page. It's pictured in black, but for $5 less you can get it in chrome.

I don't think that is the one, but I do like the look of it.

I think it was a different stick on the shifter. I don't think it was an actual shifter itself.

Im pretty sure you can order hurst handles separate from the shifter itself. They have details for the hole spacing, as well as the handle length, bend angle, threads, etc. I know I found some with the correct hole spacing. And even if you had to modify the holes a bit, it wouldnt be too bad.

I was going to get the old school looking handle. But they were all too tall for my liking. So I stuck with the stock pro 5.0 handle.

Here is the hurst page... then there are 3 pages in PDF format of shifter sticks.
