You need a small boot.Where do I find a correct trunnion boot for a 1964 Dart 4-Speed. What size do I need? I see large and small listed.
Thanks

I never did one, but watched YouTube and it looks like it could be difficult but do ableYou don't have to press the pin. The boot will stretch around it.
I pressed the pin out of mine when I did it last time, and several people here told me it wasn't necessary. Sure nuff, there's enough room to do it without pressing the pin out.I never did one, but watched YouTube and it looks like it could be difficult but do able
Thank you, I will try it.I pressed the pin out of mine when I did it last time, and several people here told me it wasn't necessary. Sure nuff, there's enough room to do it without pressing the pin out.
I'm actually fixing to do mine again. The new boot I put on it about two years ago has split already. I may write up a how to on it. I plan to do it this time without pressing the pin out.Thank you, I will try it.

I have not tried yet, but I did bookmark a couple of "how to" sources on just replacing the boot that should be helpful:Thank you, I will try it.
I just picked one off ebay. Kinda disappointed, but what can I do? I'm not gonna hide under the kitchen table cyin about it. I'm gonna replaced it. Again. lol Maybe it was an old one. Maybe it was just a crappy one. I don't know. It has no signs at all of any road debris hitting it. It's just split, you know, like old rubber does? Oh well. lolI'm curious about which boot you used last time. I would expect a new boot to last more than two years.
I guess they don't make much of anything like they used to.
I like the one from the B Bodies site. That's a goodun. I don't know. I may press the pin back out. It's not like it's difficult and I do have a press. I won't know what I'll do till I get there.

That's what my last one was, I'm pretty sure. I think that's why it cracked all up. From bein on the shelf fifty plus years.Buy a new old stock one off eBay, nothing compares to the originals.

Very interesting. That leather looks like something you would find on a Model T. I think they didn't shield suspension and drivetrain parts very well then, if at all, so owners would have to stop and re-grease parts as they drove on long trips. I'm pretty sure someone could find a split-boot part that would work, and vaguely recall someone did post something. The ball & trunnion wasn't just used on Mopars. I have a long list somewhere and recall the A-body size was used on something like a 1968 Jeep Wagoneer....
There used to be an aftermarket replacement leather cover that just wrapped around where the boot went and then was clipped together and clamped on. So you didn't even have to remove the driveshaft to put it on. Also, being leather, it didn't split like the rubber ones. ...
