Rembrant Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Another item I came across while searching for parts. Again, this one is in Canada...way out west, north of Montana. I don't know how rare these things are, but I know I had a heck of a time finding a decent used one. Price is $55 CDN (about $40 USD). https://www.kijiji.ca/v-view-details.html?adId=1447668393&requestSource=b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 The catalog says that is E7TZ 7277-B for only 1987 F 150/350.U 150 All 4-speed transmissions. I don't know why only 1987. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the top part of the boot is shaped differently than the bullnose version, possibly because the shift lever is a wonky design. And then the 5-speeds came along in 88 which were a different boot as well. 1987 was a weird year for Bricknose trucks, kinda like 1980 was a weird year for Bullnose. There's quite a few differences between 87 and 88, such as the whole carburetor thing, the 4x4 shift lever in the bullnose spot, the manual shift lever being a wonky shape, Lariat door panels are different, etc. See below for manual shift lever. https://www.ebay.com/itm/FORD-TRUCK-F150-F250-SHIFTER-NP435-4-SPEED-SHIFT-LEVER-HANDLE-1987-88-89-bronco/372670220885?epid=1256644210&hash=item56c4e04a55%3Ag%3A1msAAOSw1aRc2yEo&LH_ItemCondition=4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget how much of an oddball 1987 trucks were. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then the 5-speeds came along in 88 which were a different boot as well. It caught my eye because I'm doing a 4spd shifter swap on my 5spd, but it didn't look quite right. I have a boot from an '86 with NP435 that's in pretty good condition, but I'd take a NOS if I could find one for a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
