ck-ing Interest - 4 speed with console lower boot

[bull]

Ok, so apparently what I said earlier is true; the upper boot is the same be it console or non-console, correct? Are we talkin' the same language?

Guess I'll have to start looking for an OE/NOS lower boot. What year did they start? Was it '66?

[gtx6970]

I have this one 2996454 ( only one ) NOS -This is the upper boot that attaches to the bottom of the forward half of the console applique on console cars . I've seen these avail in the repop market but appear to be 2 pieces, meaning the rubber is not vulcanized the ring . IMO - this may cause an issue down the road as the rubber shrinks and pulls out from under the ring

[bull]

Ok then my hand is staying down. I'm sure lots of people would be interested though.

next is pt # 2950074 - lower boot without console - I know it's 68-69, but am uncertain if it's also used on the inland shifted 66-68's

Both with the exact same pt# and vender code on the ring

Bill,

Depending on when these come out and what the price would be, you could put me down for one.  I think mine is getting dried out the last time I checked.  Right now, money is tight but that should  be hopefully changing with some overtime that I just worked.

Brian,
I want to pull the trigger on this , But trying to open my own shop at the same time has money tight here as well.MY CFO has tightened the purse strings just a bit,and I'm ok with that .
I have a ground up assy 1970 Cuda  project coming in but this car will be done in about 3 or 4 months. I really would like to get my hands on a full blown restoration. Although I would prefer one, It does not have to be a mopar. I've got a couple of cars in negotiations , but no done deal yet. So,,,,,,,,,Any takers ?


I will make a decision on the boot in the next week or so to either procede or back burner it for a bit.
IF I procede I can have them in hand in about 30-45 days from the word go. As it stands right now I think I can stay in the $85-$90 range , anything less isn't cost effective and anything more I feel it prices it out of realistic reach for most .Best of all I can proudly say that from initial prototype to final production, it'll be 100% made right here in the USA. The ideal situation is if I can get 25-30% of the 1st 100 presold ( not paid for - just commitmants) I'll move forward with it.

Thanks to all for chiming in so far.

I'm definitely in for one.

I found a boot among my shifter pile o' crap but it appears to be for an A-body. What's it doing here?

Maybe you're a closet "A" body guy? 

Here are the photos I promised. Sorry for the delay...yesterday was a prissy woman....

Well, I don't have anything that looks like that. I do have what's left of an upper boot and a new lever boot but no lower boot. Oh, and I have an A-body boot.

So Dan, do you know what years of B-body cars used that lower boot? No that I'll ever fine one but...

[maxwellwedge]

I have an original upper and lower out of a 69 I can post pics of. I'll try to remember to take them tomorrow. I also have a non-console 69 4-speed I'll take a pic of as well.

Thanks, I would really appreciate it. just to confirm it's the same on a 69 as a 70

And I would really like to know if it's the same as hurst shifted 68's

[66FBCharger]

Bill,
I would be interested in at least one for a '69.

...So Dan, do you know what years of B-body cars used that lower boot? Not that I'll ever find one but....

Curtis, I'm guessing the '66 through early '68 B-bodies used them.

Here are a few pics Bill. The one lower and the 2996454 upper are both originals out of an Oct 68 built 69 B-Body. The other upper (2660394) I have had kicking around (NOS) and it looks identical to the other. Hope this helps.

Last pic.

[gtx6970]

Well now, Now you have me thinking , was this flat boot actually used in production.  or is/was it an over the counter fix it part number.
As I can't find the part number listed anywhere in pt's books

anyone got a used original in the flat style I have shown?

the factory print,  I have listing this boot is for a 70 model

[maxwellwedge]

Which "flat" one are you referring to Bill?
