Very well done. Just what this truck deserved.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
Question fellas, shouldn't there be an idle up solenoid to kick up the idle when compressor is on? I'm currently having to set the idle at 900 or so for the load. Dave

Not sure about '69, but my '70 never had that solenoid.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
Same for my '69. I THINK I read on here that the solenoid was added in 1971 or 1972.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
I worked on a lot more cars than trucks back in the day, as a mechanic. My dim and misty memory says '71 for the solenoids. But the older I get, the dimmer and mistier those memories get.

So I guess the only thing to do is what I did. This truck will freeze you on low fan. Thanks guy's! Maybe the Waldron exhaust system will be here in time for the first snow fall.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
Ok, I believe I have located the correct air cleaner for this truck. Found it in one of those small cars for sale magazines on a newsstand last weekend. Called the fella up and it's heading to Va. I just hope that it is in fact correct. It's off a 4 barrel 327. Thoughts?

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
I do not believe they are the same. For reference - 1st 2 pics are 65 big block Impalas I once owned - same air cleaner that you just ordered. Last 3 pics are a few examples of truck big block air cleaners of the era (a 72, 70, and 69 in order). Note the truck air cleaner lid has the raised rib/ridge or whatever you want to call it where the pass car lid has the flat area where the HP rating sticker is placed. I "think" the truck assembly is a smaller diameter overall, but don't quote me on that.. Sorry, wish I had better news.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
Thanks for posting. Whatever the slight difference this will be as close as I can get for now. Will look much better than what's on there now. It looks exactly the same as this 69 factory photo to me. Although that engine looks to be a calif bound emission with the A.I.R. And it looks like the correct orientation of the air horn is towards the alternator.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
correct,that is a 67 impala air breather in the ad,identical to what's on my 67 impala wagon with the 327 275 HP 4 barrel and turbo 400 it was born with.i'm not sure what a 69 truck had but i suspect it's like what's on my 72 big block truck with several pictures here already of what that looks like.the snorkel on mine is right behind the alternator with the heat stove pipe coming up from the drivers side exhaust manifold.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
From what I have seen 69 trucks with 396 did not have provisions for a warmup heat stove nor any vacuum lines/fittings on the air cleaner base.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
I don't remember- does your current air cleaner housing have the nipple on the underside of the air horn for the heat stove from the manifold? My recollection (subject to correction- I could go look at my manuals) is that all engines starting in '67 had the thermostatic air cleaner. My truck has it, but along the way somebody removed the stove off the exhaust manifold, and tossed the stove pipe. Possibly when the driver's side manifold was replaced. I know that the passenger's side manifold was replaced, it's incorrect.

I don't have the right air cleaner period. But no, it does not.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
This is the correct air cleaner for your truck. Heat stoves were only on 1/2T automatics in 1969.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
So the lid is flat and not concave. And it looks like an indentation on the one side at the bottom. Thank you.

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
there are likely several minor differences - the main one I was highlighting above in post 443 is that the car air cleaner lid does not have the raised rib just inside the red circle below - the car lid is flat there (where the hp sticker goes).

Re: 1969 C20, CST. 396, 21,000 mile documented Survivor
Here's the original from my '69 C20. It appears the 350s used the same air cleaner.

Thanks for posting Jim! It appears the lid on the truck now is correct, just the base is wrong. Hopefully the correct one is on the way soon. Dave

Just had it re touched. New master cylinder, carb, distributor, valve cover gaskets, modern ac to replace the old system, alternator, water pump, radiator and a nice steam clean and paint. Was rebuilt about 15k ago which is like 20 years. Paint and body and fuel tank at the end of the year.
