Re: 1968 Air Cleaner BBC
Likely a unit from a year previous, before that heat tube was used. A smaller inlet size may mean that it was on a SBC. Then again, it could be a Federal emissions setup, Vs California emissions. That's long enough ago that I've forgotten the differences, even though I was an emissions tech in the '70s and '80s.

Re: 1968 Air Cleaner BBC
My truck's air cleaner housing (the picture is mine) has the vacuum motor, but no indication at all that it ever had the sheet metal. Given that this truck ran hot from the very first day my FiL bought it, I'm betting he removed it. That, or when he had the engine rebuilt 40 years ago, it got left off. They put the heads back on opposite sides too, because the coolant temp sensor is on the passenger's side. I looked in both the service and overhaul manuals for '68 and neither shows that system. Your truck probably didn't come with it.
