Trying to keep the truck stock, but also need to do some mileage mods. I don't want to hack up the stock air cleaner base, so if you've got one that's in good shape, I'd love to take it off your hands. Shipped to 27606 please. :D

I have one from an 89 C1500. Will that work for you?

Thanks! I'll have to look at LMC catalogues to see if they are the same. I'll let you know. :D

I went to LMC's catalogue and they don't have the air cleaner on there, so I'll have to go out and measure mine tomorrow. Hopefully one of yours will work!!
Thanks :D

Yours a 350? Wonder if the 454 is bigger. Sorry, I haven't been outside to measure the one on the truck - dayum bronchitis got me and I have trouble breathing :(

Awww that is no good :(, hope you get better! and mine is a 350, but the neck size is all the same on the 350 or 454 or 4.3 TB's.

Thanks - I got winded walking down the hallway at work today, so I'm resting on my bum this evening lol

If they're all the same, then can you PM me the cost to 27606? Thanks!

Ouch! well rest up! And I can find out, it won't be much but the only thing is I won't be home until Easter from school :( so maybe one of the other guys that posted could get you one faster, I am sure they would be nice to send for just the price of shipping.

We;re not in a huge rush, so if no one else is able to ship it sooner to me at 27606, then the beginning of April would work too :D Thanks!

Bump for the OP. And if a second person has one I'd take one too. The PO of my truck hacked mine up, and I got stock tubing I'm going to use to make a snorkel. Theres just no way to seal the stock air box in its hacked up form.

yea but a 4.3L aircleaner is smaller then a 350's and a 350's is smaller then a 454's.

454's have a larger air inlet tube, and the notch in the base for the injector wires is in a different location than the small blocks.

Using a small block one would result in the air inlet being positioned like this in the truck.

Thanks for those comparison photos! :D Shows the differences perfectly! Looks like only a 350 air cleaner base will work :D
