Sure can. Do you want the filter holder/support bracket on the core support too?

Imagine that ! Now I'm thinking , Hmm , I could clean that thing up and turn it into a custom cold air intake with a little work and a visit to the chrome shop it could end up looking pretty cool to have a closed chromed cold air intake plumbed to a set of tri power carbs on a 292 l6 with a custom air cleaner ! With it wrapping around a chromed 9inch power brake booster . It would definitely get some looks at the local choke and puke car shows 😁

All I want is the cowl intake , the rusty housing , I should probably ask you . To price it before I get to carried away with this idea ? I want it pending price ?

I'm pretty sure they will give it to me for free. I'm in there so often they give me small stuff like that for nothing. If its free from them and doesn't cost a stupid amount to ship don't even worry about it. I'll try and stop in there today if I have time, if not it will be monday.

**Grumpy old man** · 07-08-2016, 03:54 PM

Cool , I'll pay you for your time and shipping ..

Don't sweat it man the 5 bucks its going to cost me for shipping isn't worth the hassle of trying to send money. I went and got the piece from the junkyard yesterday they gave it to me for free

If you PM me your address I'll get it shipped out on monday.

Woo Hoo ! Pm sent 😁

There are other parts on that truck like the harmonic balancer extra pulley that I could use that I would be willing to pay you for , I'll look at the pictures and make a list if your I.interested in making a couple $ for your time and effort ?

67c10rustbuket · 07-09-2016, 03:16 PM

That's pretty neat. Are those assembly manual pages from the 67-72 manual? It looks like a 60-66 inner fender in both of those assembly manual pics.

12secondnova · 07-09-2016, 08:06 PM

The picture is definitely 60-66. But it kind of gives you an idea of what it looked like on this 68. The bracket that bolts to the core support that holds the big air filter looks like it was factory made, its not some slapped together homemade bracket. So I'm pretty sure it wasn't added on later, but who knows....

swamp rat · 07-09-2016, 08:28 PM

I agree on snagging that triple pulley, its kinda hard to find.

mike16 · 07-09-2016, 08:51 PM

the date on the drawing is 63?

**jocko** · 07-09-2016, 09:36 PM

it's the megaphone option - the original owner really liked to hear his six banger hum.

**Grumpy old man** · 08-27-2016, 05:58 PM

Well ... the ol postman brought me a surprise today . When I first saw this I cried BS but after some members dug up the proof it looks like it was part of a heavy duty air cleaner set up . Well now it's going to get cleaned up and chromed and used as a cowl cold air intake for a tri power 292 mounted on the drivers side and wrapping around a chrome power brake master to a custom built chrome air cleaner for the triple carbs . From a junk yard a 1,000 miles away .

It's actually really solid and has a bit of weight to it and should move plenty of air .

Thanks 12secondnova I owe you one ! And at least let me pay you for your time and shipping . Grumpy

**Grumpy old man** · 07-28-2017, 05:34 PM

I was just looking at these pictures again and that looks like a 292 so now I have to grovel to 12secondnova to see if he can get that right side engine perch for me !

I know it's a long shot but any chance that truck is still there and not crushed yet? I have located a complete set up but it's missing the bracket mounted to the fender and rad support pictured here. If it's still there I would be interested in purchasing it from you if you pick it up next time your there.

**Steeveedee** · 09-06-2020, 11:46 AM

I saw those back in the '70s on farm trucks, working in a truck and tractor repair shop. The filter would have a "fan blade" on it like tractor filters to swirl the dust out.

As for actually being a "cold air intake", Buick had that option on the '68 GS.
First pic is of the Buick version.
Second pic is a repro made by a guy at V8uick.com.

On a Skylark it was good for .10-.15 Second and a couple miles an hour in the 1/4.
