Earlier I mocked a Mr. Gasket V-Gate shifter for our project (post 119). A few posts later (122) mentioned our Hurst RamRod 4 shifter and the long search to locate an affordable boot. One did show up on eBay that we acquired for considerably less denaro.
With a nicely repaired small tear it is in excellent shape and came with a used trim ring. Here are some pics from the original eBay listing.

A little more time has passed and while looking for period correct speed parts I ran across another Ram 4 boot. What another boot, I know I can’t believe it either!
This one was on FB in one of the groups I belong to. It was posted as an “in search of V-Gate boot swap”, needing to be in like condition. This one has what is left of the original packaging with a Hurst warranty card and Hurst packaged screws. It also has a V-Gate style trim ring (slightly larger outside diameter, see pics) that’ll still work. After a few weeks of shipping time FL-UT, then UT-FL the deal was done, and both of us were satisfied. Ha, a pair of boots, more on what that has led to later.
