Thanks! Seems I can't leave well enough alone, I ordered a late model F-Series gear selector (does not have the door) to see 1) If shift knob shell is compatible 2) Replace my boot, as I cut it a tiny bit too short and 3) Determined the exact cutting dimension for the boot stem now that I know how to do it 4) See what kind of connector is used on the circuit board of gear selectors w/o little door. I am wondering if the shift knob connector is correct (which would mean it's compatible) but the other end is not compatible which wouldn't matter b/c you're not re-using the F-series ribbon cable. In that case it would open up gear selectors options. IF this is true, then you could potentially order late model gear selectors with like-new components. Older model gear selectors are harder to find with unscathed components.

Worst case I fix my boot and I update the DIY with the exact dimension to cut the boot stem...which should make it easier.
