Air Cleaner Intake Hose and Clamps - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

tucsonjwt · 08-31-2010, 08:14 PM

Where can I get the intake hose that goes from the air cleaner to the front grill opening, along with the appropriate clamps?

*nbpro* · 08-31-2010, 08:36 PM

lmc?

RandyP · 08-31-2010, 08:57 PM

Clamps? Some of them have clamps? Can't say I've seen those intake ducts in the LMC catalog. See them by the dozens in the junk yards though.

The ones I can remember, 84 and up, the duct is just plastic and is sort of a pressure fit on the air cleaner and the piece on the core support.

*nbpro* · 08-31-2010, 09:05 PM

i just looked not in LMC catalog the one we had on ours before we changed air cleaners was like a fold over clamp. If memory serves me right, you can buy the duct hose itself at a local auto parts store, or the junkyards, as Randy suggested.

tucsonjwt · 08-31-2010, 09:44 PM

Local parts stores - nope. Just dumb looks
Local junkyards - nope. All rubber parts missing or fried from AZ heat.
LMC - nope.
Classic Parts - nope.
Rock Auto - nope.

I still have the round plastic sleeve that fits in the core support, and the stock air cleaner, but nothing in between. Any hose like this will not last in AZ heat, so I don't know why they are not a standard replacement part.

*nbpro* · 08-31-2010, 11:04 PM

ebay.?

RandyP · 09-01-2010, 07:55 AM

What year is your truck? I'm looking at the stuff on Mitchell, and it is showing still available from GM actually. This is the pic it gives while viewing for an 87 1/2 ton. #6 ($24.10 list) is your duct from air cleaner to support, and #10 ($9.08 list) is your piece on the support it connects to. #9 is for an 89-91 Suburban/K5 Blazer, 8 and 7 I have never seen on a truck I've owned. There are no "clamps", they just fit together and have nubs that keep them in place. It gives no part numbers, but just the "ORDER FROM DEALER" that I get a lot on the older stuff, but it does not have the dreaded (d) by it which means discontinued.

*nbpro* · 09-01-2010, 10:45 AM

I know fleabay has them, I just didn't post the link, and I have bought those at the local dealership and parts stores. Maybe it's just his area. Seems that you are right about just sliding on top. I was thinking Ford.

tucsonjwt · 09-01-2010, 10:56 AM

Thanks Randy. My truck is an 83 C20, 454. Local dealer just laughs at me - too old a vehicle. Ebay and internet has a lot of hoses, just not my 83/C20 454. As ususal, you can get everything for every square EXCEPT my 83.

*nbpro* · 09-01-2010, 11:10 AM

If it's that hard to find, I would fab one out of dryer vent hose.

RandyP · 09-01-2010, 11:15 AM

The big block is the issue, I bet yours is the "heavy duty" one with more pieces, Mitchell does show those to be all discontinued. I would try to get you some part #'s, but my GM guy is on vacation and I really don't know any of the other parts guys in there. I'll poke around though.

tucsonjwt · 09-01-2010, 11:55 AM

Thanks guys. I would not use dryer vent hose, even painted black. I suspect that the OEM hose has a formed end that attaches to the core support. Just want the right part for the job - everything else is stock.

RandyP · 09-01-2010, 12:34 PM

The standard duty one might fit, just looks like it has extra outlets for some reason, not even sure where they go since I've never owned a big block square. If you were close to me, you could come by and we'd try the standard duct I have that I saved from my 87 1/2 ton. I'd almost bet it would work, but can not be for certain on that.
It shows the air cleaner is the same no matter what motor, so I'd really lean towards it working, and they are available from GM. Just tell them 87 1/2 ton with a 350 and see if they change their mind about it being available or not.

Malo83 · 09-01-2010, 01:49 PM

I'm looking for one also for my 83, this pic is from a couple of years ago, it's in worse shape now so I took it off

Neither would I use one. It was a suggestion. Temporary fix until you could locate the part. But I did see some on Advance Auto website. The pic I posted above is a 305. It looks similar.

RandyP · 09-01-2010, 03:06 PM

Dug my extra one out, there is a part # on it (no mine is not for sale). Maybe if you run a GM # by them you'll get lucky at a big dealership.

#15538408

*edit*
That is a good part #, it is no longer available from GM, but Vintage Parts (in WI) has a ton of them, so the dealer told me. I google'd them, http://vpartsinc.com/

Maybe the got the one for the 454 as well, I just have no way of getting a part # for it. Might be worth a call though.

*nbpro* · 09-02-2010, 03:59 PM

I'm wrong a lot even if im right, in my ex wife's eyes.

Keith, you da man. I kept forgetting it was a 454

Shawn5488 · 09-30-2010, 10:13 PM

Is there anyway you can get your parts guy to get the big block air cleaner hose part number? Mine is a '85 so no TBI, I know they are different. Thanks!

Sounds like we might be able to get these after all.

Anyone ever used the stock air cleaner to make a dual air snorkel air intake? I have always wanted to make one that was stock looking. I know the a\c compressor will be in the way but I am switching to a serpentine conversion so I should be good to go...

sixshooter798 · 10-01-2010, 12:01 AM

I got this one for $5 at the local junkyard.

D13 · 10-01-2010, 06:31 AM

7 and 8 are diesel silencer parts.

rruss86 · 01-11-2012, 09:37 PM

Small issue.. Vintage parts will not sell to just anyone.... I have to be a retailer..

tucsonjwt · 01-12-2012, 06:29 AM

That must be something new. I bought my air duct from them last year. Just went online with my GM OEM part number and followed the prompts with my credit card - no problem with the order or delivery. AIRC there was a different pricing schedule for dealers vs. retail customers.

kikkegek · 10-09-2012, 03:25 AM

he guys, I finally got my hands on the grille insert and a new hose...hard to get her ein the Netherlands.

But it seems like I need a part to connect the two?

do I? please advise

I still take the air cleaner of regularly, so dont want to duct tape them together... :-)

INSIDIOUS '86 · 10-09-2012, 05:30 AM
