U sure? All I see is a 5.0 knob and what looks like a modded stock handle. But nice score!

Actually it doesnt look at all like a pro 5.0 does it? I just looked at thier website. I dunno, it said pro 5.0 on kijiji. I honestly dont care if its a 1946 buick shifter, its got a nice knob and it puts it in a WAY more comfortable position imo and its only 20 bucks so if its not a legit Pro 5.0 so be it.

Lifes too short and i met an AWESOME guy from port hope when i went to get it so I consider it a win. Never a bad day when you meet a cool person/people who shares similar interests. If only i could find the same in the opposite sex....then i could die happy, afaic ive got everything else i could need!

You’ll need to remove the boot to see the actual shifter, up as stated you’re only showing the handle. If you don’t like the real pro 5.0 one put that bitch on Kijiji for $20.

The pro 50 handle is a fail in a fox

Looks like an old school hurst shifter, the hurst logo should be on it at the front between the ribbing.

The hurst I had in my 83 and my 91 didn’t have ribs on it like that. That shifter is very reminiscent of the stock looking T5 shifter.

Stocker is very basic, stamped steel, with no stops. I had an old hurst and it looked similar to that one, was a nice shifter, not real precise but at least it wasn’t notchy like some are.

Its a Hurst. The "h" is indeed on the front. It doesnt feel super short imo but itll do for now. At least it has the stops on it so i can confidently bang through the gears in true trucker fashion!
