    One of the ideas been yacking about for years was to use a better air cleaner for the six clyinders and so just completing one on another customers truck and thought I would post some pictures of it completed,,,
      Have been talking about using a oblong 4bbl unit on it and seems to work very nicley,, made adapters for different carbs up and when combined with a throttle cable even nicer...
