That looks like it would fit to me.

I went to the junk yard and pulled a leather shift boot off a BMW for mine that was under $10. I cut the bottom rubber ring off of the stock one and pulled the leather one through the hole.

This is the one I made from a BMW E-brake boot and the base of a stock rubber boot. My trans has a 2" thick piece of foam that fits over the shift lever and seals off the cab from the trans.

Where did you get your vinyl floor? Looks real nice.
