Boot for shifter and Brake 1952 F-6
Has anyone found a boot for the shifter and parking brake on a truck? I'm looking to close in the gaping hole in the floor between the two. I also need one for the PTO lever too. Are these available anywhere? Google and the search function above aren't hitting anything....

I think it's the same cab as my F3. NPD and other's have the shifter boots.

They generally just had cut outs in the floor mat. I don't recall any boots but there may have been. The trucks were older when I started driving them. There were variations in PTO controls too. Some were cable operated and some were lever operated. It depends on the manufacture of the dump box for those.

I think rotorwrench is correct. I looked in the parts book and it only shows trans
and hand brake boots for the cab-over not the conventional. Also the picture they showed of the conventional had a floor mat but no boots. |

The one that 1952 Henry posted is what's in my F3. It also has the big rubber/foam doughnut under the cover plate.
My hand brake lever didn't have any kind of boot when I got the truck and I don't have a PTO. I'm sure a generic boot would work if desired. |

If you aren't worried about a Dearborn-level resto, take a look at this solution from a guy on FTE:

A boot from any 4x4 lever is what I used dime a dozen in the junk yard..

Re: Boot for shifter and Brake 1952 F-6
Yes, that is one I was looking at for a Jeep. I'm going to put the brake onto the tranny and measure the distance between levers this weekend. I think that one will work. This is definitely not a Dearborn-level resto. Its just a fun truck to drive and use. After I retire I might consider a resto, but first I have a '51 F1 that's getting the hot rod treatment. Power steering, Disc brakes on a Mustang 2 front end and a warmed up 351 Cleveland wedged between the frame rails.
