I got my foam from some packing for a product I received. I would suggest an upholstry shop. Sorry can not be more help.
Does the foam fit tight enough in the space to keep from moving around when you shift?

Push it in from top?
Yes. Size it up to cover the area. Put the shift lever in neutral position. Make a small slice so that the foam can be pushed over the lever. Using a flat tool work one side of the foam through the shift gate, them work the foam through the other side of the shift gate. Work the foam to spread it out in the area. Then using an olfa knife make a slice through the shifter gate where the lever will travel. If your foam sticks or is clinging to the shift lever try putting some silicone grease in the slot.

That looks nice, need to do the both the 4x4 and the main shifter. I will be attemping this in the next few days. Just bought a honda soft cab and a bunch of rubber fasteners for sealing assistance, you'd be surprised how much cold air comes in through these shift holes.. thanks ohonda

Not attached to the dash. It's long enough to simply tuck up under the edges around the shifter slot. No part numbers, just went to my local AutoZone and bought a shifter boot that's located in their accessories isle.

Take the shifter knob off .Move the lever to neutral position or in that area. Size up the foam and make a slice to slide the foam over the shift lever. Slice the rest after foam is in position. Well that's the way I did it anyway.

Just found this! I live in Wyoming and there is a tremendous amount of 0 degree air coming through that shifter hole. Your solution is super simple and definitely worth a try!
