Yeah it does! I was actually really excited to find this. I searched high and low on here for what others were doing. I never really liked any other solutions. This one is dead on. And it's not that Chinese super nasty rubber stink either.
Oh great. Now I have to put JEEP parts on my FORD. Just kidding! That's a really slick setup and it looks like it should work on my 52 F3. Thanks for sharing.

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery...I am sure that Jeep saw these boots on early Ford trucks and adopted the fine design for their vehicles. We have now come full circle....
I saw this in the other thread. I think it looks great.
Do you know if it will fit earlier models? I don't know what the measurements are between the shifter and brake lever for my F4, but I'd like to see if they're the same as yours.
According to the Amazon page, they must be made for Jeeps?
They are made for Jeeps. But it was the only boot I could find that would fit and I spent hours searching!
Unsure of the fitment. Others may chime in. But I can go out and measure the distance and offset of my shifter and ebrake for you. You can compare that to your own ride. I'll head out in a few minutes.
I know how much time you can spend looking for stuff like this. The fact that members of this forum are willing to share the info AND go out and measure is what makes this forum so great.
Okay here we go. This was taken sitting in the seat looking down. So to clarify the shifter is on the left. The ebrake on the right. Measurements are from center to center of each handle.
The shifter is in neutral and as centered as I could get it. The ebrake is forward, also as far up as it would go. The boot has perhaps an inch of play in either direction due to the flexibility.

THANKS!
Folks here (well most of you any way... ) have been MORE than fair to me. So many of you have gone above and beyond to help me with my project. I'm not one to tell someone to "go Google it" if I have the info handy. Sharing is the least I can do to pay back the community.

Thanks for doing that Calvin. Those dimensions look almost exactly like my F4 with the T9 tranny. I'm going to bookmark the Amazon link.
Calvin, I saw that on your other thread. It does look like it was made for your truck.
I had a similar problem with my 70 F350 flatbed dump. Who ever put the PTO powered hoist in really butchered the floor to put the two levers in. The holes were much bigger than they needed to be. The PO had a towel wrapped around the levers to block out cold air. I had to scrounge around a junk yard looking for boots that were the right size.
