Allan,  this will get confusing but on my 73 1210 4x4 the mat is over the
top of the boot.  It just has a hole in it and lays over the boot.  This is
the deluxe interior and a colored blue mat, maybe the standard black mat was
done different.  I've had this truck since 75 so I think it's original.
The transfer case boot is the opposite.  It is screwed down over the top of
the mat.

Subject: shifter boot install


Can someone tell me how the shifter boot was originally installed
in relation to the floormat?  I have an NOS floormat I got from
Binder Books for my pickup.  It was originally a column shift
automatic, so I have no factory reference to go buy.  What I want
to know is if the rubber boot is installed before the floormat,
so that I just cut a hole in the floormat.  Or, do I install the
floormat, cut a hole, then install the rubber boot (and metal
retainer ring) so that the floormat is sandwiched between the
rubber boot and the tranny hump?

Did I confuse everyone?
