Anyone have a source for a 67 GT500 lower shift boot?  Part book shows C7ZZ 7E138-B, unique size for 67/68 Mustangs with 4 speed and 390/428 engines.

This looks like it could work, but would appreciate any insight:

The  https://www.npdlink.com/product/boot-shifter-lower/105646  from NPD is like original. There is not any difference between BB and SB for this boot application regardless of what you have read.There is a difference in shifter control between 67 BB and SB but the difference is one arm/lever of the shifter control that is a different shape and length. It sticks out of the bottom of the boot where it doesn't matter so there is no need to have a different boot.

From Daniel Carpenter's website, it looks like this is the one for the 4-speed:

And the one I originally posted is for the 3-speed.  The 4-speed is definitely a good 3/4" deeper, but they otherwise look the same.

Does that sound right Bob?  The one from Branda doesn't look like either of these.

As far as what I read, the parts book shows C6ZZ 7E138-C is for the SB, with the dimensions being 1/16" larger in width and depth, which would obviously be inconsequential.  Perhaps they originally made two and quickly consolidated?  Or perhaps the book is dead wrong.  :)

I modified my post to reflect the correct 4 speed NPD number. As I said before the boot fits regardless of if BB or SB in 67. I can only guess that your book is confusing the difference in shifter controls between BB and SB. However where the difference lies between the two controls is after the the levers protrude out of the boot so even though a different control there is no need for a different boot. The one from Branda looks like a 69 boot picture.
