My 54 Aero 6-226 with Hydramatic does not have boots. The driveshaft U joints are conventional Spicer X's.

I didn't think it looked right but I checked & that is the correct part number in the Aero parts book.

Awesome!  Worth ordering a couple and trying them.  Found out that my driveshaft is bent to I took it to my old reliable place in Toledo that rebuilds drive shafts.  They mentioned about how old it was and said that they used to fix them for old Jeep vehicles.  That is what made me look for the boot.
