My '80 Flare Side is going to get a 302/SROD combination (from my '81 F-100 Styleside parts truck). I am well aware of the SROD's reputation but this is what I have at the moment. I will be on the hunt for a SMOD/Toploader (like I had in the GT-350).
In the meantime, does anyone know where I might find the output shaft/yoke seal?
And, I am also looking for the rubber boot that goes over the shift lever at the shift tower (not the one inside the truck that connects to the floor mat/carpet.
Here's some pics from the F-100:

Here's the boot assembly after removal:

I'm just after that rubber boot but the shift tower isn't open to the elements like I expected. The shift lever has a couple of overlapping cups that provide some protection as well:

I'm thinking I could adapt something form Dorman to work but thought I'd ask here.
