N600 Shift Boot

Does anyone know if there are any shift boots for the cab of a 1964 N600? After driving around winter with the large air vent in the floor from the missing one in my truck, I fabricated one from a cut up inner tube with some rubber patch cement and some creative cutting of it. Looks like crap but does the job for now. The only one I can find that will fit the large hole in the floor is from an International truck but will have to neck down the hole for the stick as it is too large (not a big issue), but would rather find one for the truck.

Appreciate any help or maybe someone has pictures of an original one that I could get an idea as to what it looks like.

It has the 4 speed transmission (CODE: A). I think it is a NP-435.

NumberDummy - thanks much for the information. Although there is no replacement available, it gives me an idea as to what it should look like. The one I made is inverted to raise up into the cab instead of taking the space between the floor and the transmission. I guess I could turn it over and it would look less ugly below the floor than above it

Glad you asked that question. I will be building a new one for my truck too. I like the idea of inner tube rubber. It is great to see the original prints so it can help in the process of designing one. I was under the impression mine had slipped down into the opening.
