Wack a pro neck or tuf neck on it.
Failing that a copy suntour or summat.

depending on spec the SR and suntour were both stock on a GT at some point

I've had a Genuine mallet stem without the potts mod bolt came on an  complete 83 GT Pro survivor  

So I expect they brought it out as a race version and a freestyle version


Bung on  any of the ones already mentioned  by Daz and Jase

most of the ones i've seen have a suntour or tuff neck but as the hunter says a gt mallet would look pucka

yep i own that stem now  the mallet came out in 85 and there was 2 versions race and freestyle 

standard stem for an 84 would have been a tuf neck or sr depending what model bike
