Re: My New Truck

So i just went to my local metal dealer and bought 4” aluminum tubes 24” long. (Didn’t really know how much I needed). I reset the air box in the right front corner of my Squarebody and after a lot of measuring and calculating i took the 4” hole saw and punched a hole in the bottom of the air box. I then used little “L” brackets to mock up where i wanted the tube. The bolts were later removed so air flow would not be restricted.

In the air box and on the outside of the air box any gaps i filled with a silicon type of caulk to make sure only the air outside the engine compartment is getting into this air box.

For some reason this silver tube picture won’t save in the previous file.

Re: My New Truck

For the intake tube I used standard 4" aluminum tube from the local metal dealer. I scuffed it up real good with a scotch brite pad then painted it with some Duplicolor Truck bed liner. Nothing fancy here.
