The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Air cleaner decal Chevy advance design COE

I am looking for a decent digital image of the decal on an oil bath air cleaner for a Chevy advance design COE. None of the vendors offer this and this is a rather large decal that goes on the large cleaner correct for the updraft carb of the COE. Below is a link to an image of what was left on my truck. Does anyone have a decent picture? If so, I would appreciate an email to

I am going to try to get waterslide decals made. If successful, I would be glad to share these with anyone who needs one.If you click on the next picture in my folder you can see the truck that I am restoring. Thanks.

I checked the spare '47-'53 Chevy COE oil bath air cleaner stash, I have, & none were as good as yours. It's going to be hard finding one in good shape since they are mounted under the cab where more of the elements could get to them. I just last week restored the under hood oil bath air cleaner, & accessory AC oil filter on my '52 GMC COE, & Jim Carter had the correct decals for both of them. Looking through your photobucket pictures, I noticed your COE for the first time. You've done an exceptional job on that Truck. Looks great. I noticed you have the smaller pickup style(size) oil filter on it. All of my COE's have had the 2 qt. AC model S-2 oil filter on them, mounted beside the horns on the passenger side of the cowl.

Spanky,
Thanks for checking your stash to see if you had a better example of the decal. I appreciate your effort. Regarding the oil filter, I assume that it was an owner add on, not stock. I re-mounted it in the same location during the restoration process.

By the way, one of the model number hood emblems, "5700", came from you, at least a couple years ago. I had both the original and yours rechromed and they look real nice. Thanks again!!

If anyone comes across a surviving decal, even if only a part of it remains, please let me know. I did this once before with the oil bath air cleaner for my Diamond T, had a couple images combined and photoshopped, then made both vinyl and waterslide decals. When compared to the real deal on an original "survivor" truck, the result was essentially identical. I ended up sharing the efforts with other Diamond T owners, because once you have the image file, the decal is cheap.

Unfortunately I can't help you with your decal problem, I did want to chime in and say nice truck! I really like that and your attention to detail really shows.

Maybe this one?

Tim,
I bought one of those a while back to see if it was close and it is smaller than my original and not quite the right color. Thanks for the suggestion, though! I might use it as a basis to produce an image since you can change the colors, as well as the writing, if you have one of the fancy photoshop programs.

Kent - I think I've got a copy of what you're looking for but am having trouble figuring out how to post a picture. I sent you a couple of shots by email.
