Lokar Boot Options
 
I have a 63 C10 and I recently installed a lokar floor shifter. I have been looking for a rubber boot that will fit the 5/8" shaft. I know they sell their own "leather" style boot, but I am not a fan and I am looking for something a little more traditional to the period. Has anyone found a good looking boot that will fit? Thanks in advance

I guess our trucks didn't have a boot, but rather a thick donut on the underside.
But something like one of these might work for your case:

I have the standard old Hurst style boot on mine. It fits over the round shaft fine and has the old school look.

LostMy65, I like the first ebay post, need to find out the inner diameter. PGSigns, the Hurst boots that I have seen have been too small to fit below the bend on the lokar shift rod, did you have to make any modifications to yours? Thanks

The Truck Shop in Orange, CA has a few versions also.

The Rocknrod, I like those options and they look like they might fit. The top one looks very similar to my original manual shift boot, but I kinda like the two below. Do you have a link to their site?

The Rocknrod, Thank you. Their way to order isn't the most user friendly, but I did order the lower boot w/ retainer ring:metal:. Fingers crossed, hopefully it will fit!

I hope the rubber is of good quality too. Would suck if it cracks and splits.

Sorry for the late response, but I wanted to update. The boot came in and it fits perfectly:metal:, also the rubber looks to be pretty good
