    ".... It does make for a rather ugly steering column though....."


    You got that right

    I've seen so many really beautiful cars over the years with the shift nub left on the column (especially 50's/60 era cars). All that work and they leave that little detail.

    There are a few choices if it bugs you. Get a column from a floor shift truck and go through the hassel of changing it.

    Spend a lot of money and buy and aftermarket column.

    Or my favorite take a cut off wheel and cut the nub off, fill the hole with body filler, sand smooth and paint, which can all be done in car.
