My truck didn't have an air breather/filter in it when I bought it. What should it have, I guess there are a couple different styles for it? It is a 1957 truck but the motor is out of a 55.

If the carb has a straight neck the air cleaner clamped to it. The original was an oil bath without a silencer. The cars had a oil bath with a silencer. THe older ones had a mesh screen. The larger trucks had a big oil bath type.


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