[86c20]

i am finding myself in need of ****er boots for my 85 and 86 checked lmc didnt have them and goodmark same thing what gives?? also was told that theere is an inner and outer boot this would be great as the 85 is a 6.2 and i am trying to take the noise down alot lol. but is there an inner or no? all 3 of my trucks have been apart many times and i am not the first onwer at all. thanks, mike

If you are talking SM 465, I think all the boots are the same. Mine was still in good shape but LMC had them for my 83 C20 if needed. I only saw one boot when I took the boot off to work on the carpet + vinyl floor covering.

the truck i got my sm465 from only had one boot, but judging bu the automatic colum shift and crude holes punched in the floor im guessing it wasnt a manual truck so im not sure if it had one before that

yea its for the sm465. all the ones i am finding are round and mine are square so i am lost lol and they seem to change in 83 or 84

Perhaps not helpful but I have several random thoughts:

a) Can't comment on the SM465 (RPO M20) boot but my MY6 overdrive boot was double (had both an inner and an outer boot).

b) I couldn't find a factory style replacement so I bought a Hurst Super Shifter replacement boot and used that.

c) My recollection is that the early M20 boots (like in the '79 - '84 timeframe) were rectangular at the base - but I could be wrong.

I dont mean to high jack this thread but Keith where did you get such a nice vinyl floor? The rubber/ vinyl floor in my truck is toast and i cant find a good place to get one. LMC sells it but ive heard horror stories about fitting them and having to trim them. Thanks.

As for my sm465 i only had one boot. Never seen one with 2

x its fine as i too was going to ask about the floor lol. keith any insight? also is that the stock shifter for your truck as i seem to think yours is a overdrive??? think that was you.

As for the floor mat - it's site vendor Capt Kaos.

and yes - that is the production shifter for the MY6 (also known as the Mopar A833) overdrive trans. The shifter was manufactured by Hurst; trans has a 1:1 third gear and 4th gear is .73.
