Wonder if anyone has tried this out and what's your opinion. I have an original/used filter but the mesh is looking tired and I was thinking of getting some to use. Thanks

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

Thanks Steve

Were there dates on any boxes?
Were the part numbers the same for all years? (for the cleaner assembly & for the mesh inserts?)
Your original "documentation" is an invaluable and unique asset to Stovebolt.com.
Thank you,

1954/55st had a different foot pedal (and, maybe a different jar), and a capability to automatically activate a 1954/55st truck's optional electric wiper.
Thanks, again, Brad | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 3,596 | Tim,
To follow-up the boxes do not have a date or part number on them, I would guess these changes could have been running over time?
