Intermediate steering shaft boot

[terry1]

Before I bother Jim K with a ph call does anyone know if you can just get the boot for the intermediate shaft. My young mechanic tells me the boot is
torn, some movement in shaft but he feels it does not need replacing. I see Jim has several options for replacing shaft and I see upper and lower
boots but no boots for intermediate shaft. Thanks Terry in Dauphin Mb. 75 Glenbrook

Terry,
Here is a copy/paste of my response to shaft boot issue about two weeks ago. This is a one piece boot that covers the shaft from the CV on down over
the slip shaft.

About 10ys ago i was faced with boot issues on the slip shaft. After reading a reference to a 4X4 shock boot being used by somebody, and looking at a
picture of the whole shaft in a Caspro catalog, I went to NAPA where I opened every box that had a shock boot and found one that fit almost perfect.
The brand name is "Strut Mate". NAPA part # 63975 for $15.95. It covers the CV joint clear down to the zirk on the lower part of the shaft. The upper
end was a tight fit and is held in place with the zip tie supplied with the boot. The zip tie however did not work well, so I replaced it with a
narrow hose clamp, Lower part was just a little big so I fit the split in the boot around the zirk and put a zip tie on either side of the zirk,
keeping it from sliding either up or down, but still leaving the zirk out for greasing. Been using it that way for 10+ years now with no issues. JWID
