Does anyone have a picture of the shifter and boot in a bench seat 4 speed car, 64-67? It can not be a console car. It has to be a bench seat 4 speed with factory shifter so I can see how the boot is installed. I checked the black L79 feature car from just over a year ago but no interior shot. Thanks.

I purchased new lower window track and side chrome for 62-65 nova Im wondering what the black felt or seal is that is supposed to be inside it between the glass and chrome frame. Should i attempt to knock the old ones apart and relace with the new stuff or take it to a auto glass place. Thanks
