AUTO SHFTER HANDLES

I am doing body and paint on a friends 73 duster w/ auto on the floor. He wanted me to cut all the brackets off the floor because he was going to install some sort of aftermarket shifter. I talked him into keeping the original shifter. He said he wanted to get rid of it because he doesnt like the original shifter handle but he likes the console. Has anyone replaced the original shifter handle with some thing different ? He really doesnt like the fake wooden knob.
