[G&R's57GMC]

So how did the air cleaner system turn out ?

I'm using a Chevy chassis and rad support along with a 2001 Camero Rad & Fan assembly on my '56 GMC "Cameo" or '57 GMC long bed. Oh and 5.3L , 4L60E , Gear Vendors , 9" Ford with 4.11 gears and 28" tires.

Depending on which GMC I use it will still be a long wheel base.
If I use the "Cameo" I'll move the rear wheel opening back about 8".

I'm thinking about reversing the intake manifold and putting the tube toward the fire wall and then using a 4 bbl hat to make a tighter transition to a metal Caddy style air filter assembly.

Or if that doesn't work then I'll leave the manifold in the stock position and use a SSR air filter assembly mounted above the rad and use a GMC hood to get cold air to the filter.
