    Looking for a new or excellent original shifter boot for a 1970 GS 4 speed, non console application. Also the shifter boot ring.

    Thanks,

    Tom, someobody was reproducing the boot at one time.
    I remember finding one about 2 years ago when we redid ours.
    You might check the major suppliers.

    Metro did at one point. Try www.thepartsplaceinc.com if a repro will do.

    I am going to look for your old B4B manifold this week end.

    Thanks Steve. Please post picture if you ever get it. I was on back order with OPG for 10 months and have given up. Called Metro and they had 2 in stock...but when they arrived they are for a console car!!

    Tom- I am in the same boat. Let me know if you want to sell one of those console boots. Car came w/o console but I may throw one in.
    Steve, I would also like to see some pics when it arrives :TU:

    Still have them as I may also add console. But would be willing to trade these 2 for a single non console boot in excellent condition. Anyone???

    Shifter boot

    Does anybody have a GM OEM part #. I have a NOS shifter boot here with a # of 3842926. It shows for a 65-67 buick A body. I didn't know if this was the same part # for the 70's.

    You have the round hole and he needs his to be made rectangular.

    Not sure I was first in line on this . (I deleted my post because of info that it will not fit the consolette sorry) If this work with the consolette in my 70 . I am not worried about the square opening around the shifter as long as it fits the consolette .

    John, from what I am reading, Tom will trade the 2 for a non-console boot (very wise of you, Tom as there are a FEW of us looking for the non-consolette boots :ball: :ball: ). Otherwise, they are not for sale?
    Tom, that sound right?

    John,
    That is a lower boot for an early car with a console and would not be correct for your application. (Pic with the round hole)

    The lower boots for the 68-72 cars with consoles are reproduced. I think Poston and others sell them. You should leave this for one of the guys that needs one.

    Are the shifter boots for the Chevelles the same as for the Buicks ?
    When I log onto Year One looking for 64 - 72 Chevelle Parts and in the interior section they have a "Shifter boot for 1968-1972 Chevelle and 1970-1972 Monte Carlo models without a console". Is this what it looks like ? [​IMG]
    It is part # 3118N. There is also a part # DL751. The reason I mention it is that their boot and retainer for the 64 - 65 Chevelle is exactly the same as in my 65 GS. Hope this helps.
