I need a front u-joint dust boot for a 1958 Dodge Coronet 6cyl. PowerFlite.
I've done some searching but not clear on which modern CV boot would work.
I've purchased two in the last 10k miles from a well known vendor and was hoping for a little more mileage/years out of something than what I've been getting.
Any recommendations for where to get a lasting original style?
Anybody selling a leather dust cover?
I had leather dust boots on my 1938 Dodge RC for 1000's of miles with no problems.
The rubber ones make quite a brief,startling noise when they let loose a 60 mph.

In those threads from the past, folks are recommending part numbers for replacement boots without mentioning whether they're for the large boot or the small one.

They are also for a 1955-56 model year when I have a 1958 and don't know if they're the same.

I had a look at what else might apply and it might be the 1450 448 dust cover. There is one on eBay at the moment and when I checked whether it would work on a 1958 Coronet 6 cyl, it answered "Yes".
