Do we all have that on our trucks, and if so where is it?

I have an extra charcoal canister off my 72 if you are in need of one. It is located underneath the passenger side battery tray.

Well ;

It's part of the SMOG equipments so maybe ~ some states still want it there .

If it's in good shape , and properly connected (takes at least three different hoses) it doesn't make the truck run badly atall .

I found the full A.I.R. pump , branch manifold & gulp valve for my '69's L6 and have been seriously considering installing it just because ...........

FWIW , A.I.R. pumps are bad for your exhaust valves but they're also dead simple to make look fine yet not harm anything .

no. if you had it there will be a bracket on the core or you'll be able to see where it was(provided it hasn't been repainted)..i not sure what years it's on or if it was state to state. i normally only see them on the 72s only or truck that have had the tank moved out of the cab. i have seen a couple of 71s from cali, but it's either been removed on the years i've dealt with or wasn't there from factory.
