Just couldn't help myself... found this setup listed on Ebay and had to grab it. Wondering if anyone has other photos of some of the optional heavy duty air cleaner setups?

Where would the master brake cylinder sit?

Hoping there's enough room back there.. where was the master on the big trucks as it doesn't appear to have been on the left firewall?
Think that's it in this photo, with the rectangular cap?

I believe the truck pictured is a 1963 or earlier and would use a flat master cylinder or under the driver master cylinder

Well you have it in your hand? Does it have any manufacturers markings on it?

Hasn't arrived yet, just paid for it today. Looking forward to cleaning it off and seeing what all is underneath. No matter what I'm sure it can be altered slightly to clear the M/C as there's clearly some room back there in the photo..

Shoot...I'll bet once you took that thing off the engine's fuel mileage increased by 10 mpg.

Update... Received the air cleaner, appears to be a Donaldson but no ID tag on it. Pretty cool as it has dual elements inside, should be good for about 50,000 city miles. Cleaned up okay and got it installed, don't feel any difference in performance from the oil bath I was running but didn't drive it much.
As for the looks, the jury is still out. I'll probably paint the aluminum tubes to match the A/C body and need to get a couple of hose clamps so they all match but all in all it does have a decent Rat-rod look to it. We'll see, at least it was cheap.

Neat option and when people ask what it is you can tell them it is one of the first turbo chargers!
