I believe as long as it permits the free flow of air, all is well.

Thanks, and that is why I probably cant find one. I didn't realize they lasted the life of the vehicle. I just thought it'd plug up over 40 years and thought its time to replace. I guess i should get a Service Manual for the truck.
