John,

 Here is a picture of the shifter for a '65 GS with the 3 speed. Maybe it might help in your search.

Before I found the correct handle for mine I was looking into building a handle! I was going to reuse a correct base off of a chevbie shifter handle and have the handle bent and machined to fit the shifter ball! I have a base here I would donate to your cause if that’s the route you might take!
