They're obviously different pieces. Did the 70 pistol grip boots end up having a revised part number in later parts books, or is this just the way it's always been? Thanks

I agree......I was able to pick up a MINT/Could be NOS(zero signs of wear) boot for my Bird since the original is slightly torn and I really dislike the "new" boots.

This is a NOS 69 "round hole" shifter boot, with a Keisler repro 70 Pistol grip shifter,...it's a TIGHT fit, plently of "lube", and a slow installation starting at the shifter base, boots been on the car for about 6+ years now, no splits/cracks 6905548-chargerinterior9.jpg (66 downloads)
