$149 for rebuilt from NPD.
or a seal kit for $16.72.
Pg 76

edit for above-
you'd want the Gear Selector shaft seal kit.
Pg. 75 $32.10
Then again, if your selling the truck just pull that lower seal and get one to match.
Maybe someone will come up with a part #.
I've got a rebuild box sitting on the shelf up in the garage. I'll take a look and see if I can get a # off the seal..
