The carb is a Zenith 11275D, and takes a filter in the top cover. Ican't find one anywhere, and the original is long gone, so I don't even know if it was paper or brass. Can anyone help me out? :confused: | | |

It is right next to the brass plate bearing the carb number. Tom | | |

I've never seen one for sale through any company. Cecil....... | | |

Let me know if you can not find one, I might be able to locate on for you.
We would love to see your truck, do you have online photos available?
Take care and good luck with your GMC.

I'll try to get some estimated dimensions this weekend. I don't have any photos yet, but will try to post some soon. Engine is out and apart for bore/ grind/ valve job. Trans is apart for 2nd gear and bearings. Nose sheet metal has been plastic media blasted and is almost perfect. Cab needs corners and inner cowl sides. I'm going to keep it stock except maybe 12v.

The filter on mine is basically a stack of about dime sized brass plates. If this is what you have, I am not sure where you will find them. Good Luck. | | |
