was fixed in production approximately Feb. 16, 1966

Tough as since its sandwiched between the upper boot and floor. If completely installed then it would possibly not be visible except for maybe a 1/8" of an edge showing. Or I need to find a picture where it is unbolted, the upper boot removed and where the lower didn't detach and fall back through the hole in the floor.

Will give a half hour search to see if I can find one. There might be a C code San Jose car with a picture

So is it safe to assume that lower shift boots were not a FORD assembly line item before Feb. 66 ?  Shelby and K-code cars included ? Mostly curious about the B/W T-10's.  Lower boots on any T-10's ?  Thanks, Brian

Based on what we have here and that so far no one has shown up with one on an original car built before Feb I thing is safe to say at this point


Were there any T-10's installed on classic Mustangs built after Feb 66?
