Shifter floor hump modification

My latest Swepty project....On my latest junk yard excursion, I snagged a fiberglass shifter hump out of a 1980 Dodge truck for $15. My truck was originally 3 on the tree, and a previous owner had cut a hole in the cover / floor and installed an aftermarket shifter. To get the aftermarket boot to cover the hole, it had to be bent in almost a 90* angle = this made the mobility of the boot very stiff, and would prematurely tear. So I took the junk yard hump, and trimmed , trimmed, trimmed, and trimmed a little more , until I got a close fit to my Sweptline transmission floor pan...fabbed up a few mounting brackets, and viola!! NOW... the last step is to replace the boot!! I think an A body boot will work , but I am not 100% sure. would anyone here know if this is the case, or does anyone have a source for a replacement boot for a late 70s early 80s Dodge truck? Thanks guys!!

I believe the A body boot is to short. Nice shifter. Looks like a late B body shifter.

I may have a boot from my 83. I'll check and see tomorrow.

If stump don't have one I do

Your install looks good. So you trims the old mounting edge off and used 90 deg. brackets to then tie to the floor? If so how did you tie the brackets to the fiberglass?

Nice job.

Fiberglass

Do you have the adapter bracket that the shifter mounts to and then all of it mounts to the trans to use that boot properly?

Found it and ready to ship but I need an address.

Boot on it's way.

Thanks Stumpy !!!! I will continue the tradition !!!

Is it what you needed?
