I think that very few 3100 A-D truck buyers opted for an oil bath air cleaner.

In VA in the late 60s and early 70s I worked on many A-D trucks. I never saw on oil bath air cleaner on a 1/2 ton A-D truck 216 engine (or on a 1954 3100 235 truck engine).

I also never saw a 5-window cab, nor a deluxe heater. Perhaps the more desirable parts/cabs are the ones that have survived?

The Task Force (and later) 235 engines, which were the most commonly used replacement engines in the older A-D trucks, would have had standard oil bath air cleaners. That is what we see today?
