Re: The Surfing Guy's 65
Is that the stock air cleaner on that van. Never seen one like that on a van before. The snorkel on it is larger and doesn't narrow down on the end like the one's I have. Not that I use the stock air cleaners but it looks like that one would allow more air through. Also mine don't have the thermovac on the snorkel to pull in preheated air.

Re: The Surfing Guy's 65
Well he bought another roof yesterday,,,,so that should take care of the rust problem,,,,,that sure is a more modern air cleaner with the heated air flapper,,,,,HOWEVER,,,that wider inlet looks like a good modification for the vans,,,,,

Re: The Surfing Guy's 65
I think you could use a longer bed. in pa you would have to have orange or red flags on anything hanging out of the bed by 4 feet.

,,,,about that air cleaner,,,,our air filters are about 1 inch high, while that air cleaner is 2 inches deep,,,so it definitely is letting in more air,,,,all air, no filtering,,,,,
