Steering slip shaft boot part number ?

[larry and cheryl]

Does anyone have the part number for steering shaft boot that Alex uses? I have the 2 piece system that is available from Applied but I am tired of
struggling to get it stretched over the shaft.
I'm to old and have too many things to keep maintaining and fixing on GMC to not use the easiest way to fix things.
Thanks for any replies!

I hear you on that boot. I just notice mine has split and I was hoping there was one that didn't require taking that thing apart. What a pain. I must
confess that I have a triple baggie wrapped around mine with zip-ties on both ends. It looks so classy.

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.
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 will, 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
