1968 GTX, non-console car. Hurst Competition Plus shifter (rectangular shaft like the pistol grips, only two bolt mount type).
I have the rinky-dink el cheapo Hurst generic boot on there now. Totally looks out of place and that thin metal ring on top sucks donkey balls.

What are other folks using on their shifters? Pics please!
 
A repop boot for a 70 b-body should work well, same floor hump as a 68 and made for the rectangular shifter

I used the reproduction ones from Brewers because I wanted it to look factory. Mighty pricey. I was really disappointed in the thin and bad " chrome" of the boot hold down ring ......................MO

Got that right - twice!
The Hurst shifter the car came with 7+ years ago is was pretty much new (still is, therefore). It's the Competition Plus model, which is over $500 all told even without a boot.
Mercy.
If I want to swap out the stick for a pistol grip stick, well that's another $250.
I have the generic el cheapo Hurst boot (their B4 model) on it now, which isn't much to look at and the ring on it is thin as can be.
The only Mopar boot to use I guess would be the '70-up one for non-console cars because the shifter handle is a rectangle shape, so trying to use the correct-to-car inland style boot with the round hole won't look right at all.
That Mopar boot ain't cheap, either.
I was just wondering how other folks had solved this little dilemma, superficial as it is.
