What is the correct part number for a 70-71 E-body shifter boot (with console if that matters)?

I have two with the same part number (3467770). The tall one is very hard and not pliable, the shifter frequently pops out of third gear.

The shorter one is unused NOS and is much more flexible. Do they stretch out and get harder with age or is that a variation in vendors?

A lot of the repros I see appear to be tall. Any recommendations for a good reproduction?

Thanks

it's not so much that it stretches out as to the width of the shifter going through the slot..a narrow shifter will hold the boot higher as a wider boot will slide it down further..

The original rubber boots are much softer then any of the reproductions. And the repops rip easily.

If I remember correctly, for some reason the 3&4 speed (non-pistol grip) boots share the same part number as the pistol grip boots.

Its strange but true,,,,

The correct three speed NOS shifter boot is 2996 405, I have five NOS ones stamped with that part number.

My 70 untouched all original 4spd had the 405 in it - Can anyone confirm the assy line number for the pistol grip boot - the books says 2950201. I have never seen one ??

I also have two NOS three speed boots stamped 3467 770.

and #3467 770 is the same part number as the pistol grip boots...

Thanks for all the replies! I still don't get it though. The 3-spd boots had the round hole right?

The taller boot is a later production and the rubber is very thick. They were still available a few years ago, might still be however they will pull the car out of gear like was stated.

Thanks

Correct on the taller boot with the taller neck being the later production.
Here's what you got from your dealer in 1972 for $3.84...NOS boot with 3467770 on the side and then the vendor code...mine is the same style as the short one pictured.
Bruce is the vendor code 53495 the same for both.

I just saw your question Terry - Yes, same vendor code for both parts

OK, so I have a repop boot that is the tall type and indeed does cause my shifter to pop out of gear. Who makes the shorter boot?

Astrobuf

The one Brewer's shows appears to be shorter but I haven't seen it in person yet.

NOS boot from the 1970s...

.....

I have about 20+ NOS boots - if anyone needs one, just send me an email... $150 includes shipping in the USA....

theres only one 4spd boot number #3467 770

As pointed out, there's 2 flavors - short & tall, I believe the difference is based on manufacturing date as the rubber is slightly different.

The tall ones seem to be the most prevalant - early NOS versions are shorter and softer...
