Oil Bath element - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

vectorit · 06-25-2007, 10:35 PM

Does anyone know who if anyone is making the internal element inside the oil bath air cleaner? I have checked the popular air cleaner makers like Fram & so on with no luck...
I remember this element to be like a metal screen, similar to what is in a window screen. Then it was rippled in shape?

I may be forced to fab one out of some screen, but would rather just buy one that will just drop in.

This is for a truck that is going for originallity at shows, and the fact that this type of air cleaner came stock on my truck. I have everything but this screen...

Tired of people telling me that the current aircleaner isn't correct for my truck!

Any comments are appreciated.

Thanks

Moved this over to General discussion for you since you didn't say what year truck you needed this for.
Good luck on finding a new one.
