Looks great! I gotta find a T56 for my truck asap. I bet it changes the whole character of the truck! Also, what is the fuse box in front of your shifter for? Is it still serving as a fuse box?

That is really cool! And nice attention to detail with the brackets! I'll look back at the under-hood shots to see how it looks with everything missing.

Painting it the same color?
What did you end up using for a shifter gasket/boot for your T56?

Yeah. I'm a fan of the pewter after rocking it for 10 years. She's just lived a rough life and the paint was showing it.

I used the factory S10 foam gasket with a relocated hole to fit the T56. On top of that I have a 4th gen Camaro 5 speed rubber floor pan shifter boot. 6 speed is similar, but slightly different. I don't think it would make a huge difference in fit choosing one over the other. I found the 5 speed boot at the junkyard, so I used it.

I cut the floor to fit the S10 foam gasket like it was from the factory. If I were to do it again I might try mocking up a piece of sheet metal with the Camaro boot pattern to see if I liked that better or not. Right now I'm digging the flange of the Camaro into the floor to get a seal for that and the foam is doing most the sealing work. I think the flange going through the hole in the floor and digging into the foam would be more optimal, but this works.

Thanks for the heads up. I'm planning to install a T56 into mine over the winter. Your Blazer is bad***.
