Looks like a B&M light truck Mega Shifter. Mike (Swervin Ervin) has one too, check his out...

You can order the boot at Summit Racing, they have them in stock. I have that same shifter in three trucks, 91 Siverado, 84 GMC Sierra Classic, and an 86 Silverado. They work great and give you a positive way to shift and NOT catch the wrong gear.

Beats the heck out of having the 'Ole Lady' lay under the truck and shift for you.

If you have an auto Build it---It will fit. The only difference is the 4 wheel stuff on the back of the tranny. The shifter will mount just about where ever you want it.

that's a shifter, a shift kit is a kit that contains parts to modify the internals of the trans to alter shift quality and timing.

I had a mega shifter in a '70 Monet Carlo I use to have and loved it. Man, piecesparts, you really have your "Ole Lady trained". We have been married for over 40 years and I still can not get my wife to do these little things for me.
