Thanks for the help.

Yes sir I have. The first one came from Chevy Duty and frankly I don't remember where the second one came from. They are both the same size except the second one was a thinner material. I've gone through a few catalogues online and haven't found one yet. Have you got one from american classic? If you have I will call.
Thanks dj.

Does anyone have on their truck a clutch-fork boot that works on an Advance-Design clutch housing?

Well now I am confused. Should there even be a clutch fork boot on an AD bellhousing? What are you all running on your trucks?

They did not fit the original clutch housings - I use no clutch boots (but, I would consider using one, if I found one that fit).

I'm with you. If they didn't have them at the time the truck was new, then that's great. I would use one too, if there is one available that will fit.
Anybody have one that fits? If so where did you get it?

| | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 11 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 11 | I took the remains of a leather boot out of my 48 GMC bellhousing. I have been told that the early corvette takes the same boot. I havent tried this but maybe it will be of some use to some body. Good Luck Jay

The leather boot may have some merit. When we pulled the rear axles and the seals and bearings, the seals had leather. Maybe the old boots were leather. Has anyone else seen leather clutch fork boots on their AD? This really is archeology with a wrench.
