Believe the top and bottom boots are the same with and without the console. (based on same engine and trans application)

2/68 MPC lists C5ZZ-7277-B as the service part at that time so should be a fit

Have a follow up question....with a console how is the carpet installed around the upper boot? Is it screwed to the floor under the upper boot (between the lower and upper boot flanges) or are the boots mounted and then the carpet just cut around the base of the upper boot (trans tunnel metal, then lower boot flange, then upper boot flange, then screws then carpet)? If the latter is the carpet secured to the floor somehow other than just the console holding it down?
