66 column shifter boot and handle questions
 

Is there a replacement part for this boot? And does the black knob twist off or pull off?

Re: 66 column shifter boot and handle questions
 

On my 63, the knob just pulls off. It's a fairly tight fit

Thanks Christian, I'll give it a tug. Anyone found a replacement boot? I may have to reuse this cracked up one.

I'm amazed that you still have the boot, or part of it. It's difficult to tell from the pic if some of it has torn away over time. I *think* the part number is:

#26044259 GM Steering Column Shift Lever Seal/Boot

Searches for the above show some sites carry it but are out of stock. I have seen a similar replacement one from Dorman:

Perhaps others will chime in with more info.

Truck Shop in Orange, CA has them.

Yeah the shape of the one I have assuming it's original looks so different from the others Ive seen. The dorman I think is for the floor though.

Funny you should mention them, Ive been highlighting all the money Im going to spend with them in the catalog, but I didnt see a match. I saw floor shifter boots and a grommet. Ill try giving them a call.

fyi: I gave The Truck Shop in Orange a call but they didn't have them nor the anti-rattle bushing for the tilt column shift lever.


It looks like Amazon has them:

Thanks for checking with them. I didnt know I needed that anti rattle bushing..more stuff to find.

Thanks Rocknrod, that catalog looks like a match to what I have. Ill send an email to them to get a quote on shipping it to the states.

I wonder if that lever shim is the canadian version of the anti rattle bushing?

Anybody know if you can put the old style 63-66 knob on the next generation 67-72 shift lever ? Newer style shaft looks bigger diameter but maybe not the part where the knob slips on?

Re: 66 column shifter boot and handle questions
 

Not sure but it sure looks like that shim will help with shift lever rattle when driving rough roads. Keep us updated if you end up purchasing these parts.

does someone make a replacement handle for a 66?
mine is all rusty but the rubber boot is perfect.

Re: 66 column shifter boot and handle questions
 

The Truck Shop in Orange, CA in the catalog I have it's page 66.
