Were they oil bath cleaners in '66? It's the only thing missing on my new to me '66 C10 that I just posted pics. of. I've found one on e-bay for a '55-'59 but I don't know if that's exactly like the '66 or not. Very much in need of a good original one.
Thanks,

My 1966 C-10 with a 250 has the disposable paper element. I bought this truck in 1994 with 46,500 miles on it, and it was original. I think the oil bath type was used a bit earlier, but I may be wrong. I know that my girlfriend's 1957 Oldsmobile 371 engine has the oil bath type, but that is an entirely different vehicle.
Check some boneyards, you might find the correct one for your truck, but dont't get one later than 1967. I think the 1968 and later ones are different.

Thanks,

I have an original paper element air cleaner for a '66 with a factory six cylinder. Send me a personal e-mail since I don't think we are supposed to buying/selling in this forum. | | | | | | Anonymous Unregistered | | Anonymous Unregistered | Thats interesting scott. was that an option.

Scott | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 2,384 | I had a 70 w/factory oil bath. Heavy duty air cleaner option. Still available then. Brian | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 313 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 313 | According to my owner's manual, the oil bath cleaner was available that year. It probably was optional.
