Probably wouldn't work for you since I believe your truck is the earlier body style and tapered also. Otherwise the people around here take dryer vents or any flexible tubing they can get their hands on and clamp it to the air cleaner, cut a hole in the hood or the fender, then run it up and duct tape it to the roof. Kinda like a lot of the removeable ones you see in TTC. High tech rednecks I tell ya. BTW, you got my vote.

thanks for your help and vote. while out practicing for the tank trap a couple of weeks ago i sucked some water and mud into my motor so now i'm pulling the heads off to find out the damage. i want a double snorkle so i know i'll be getting enough air. the hardest part is finding something that will fit good over the carb flange.

I run mine into the cab/under dash with a stock TBI intake tube...but that probubly won't be high enough for the tank trap.
Just remembered there's a company that makes "ram air" stuff (haha). They make an air cleaner with two circular inlets, the diameter I'm not sure of, but it should be enough to feed your engine. ramairbox.com I believe. That and plenty of silicone would do the trick for the engine side anyways.

Checked out www.ramairbox.com and they have one with a 6" single round outlet that should work. Have to order it in the near future, it is around $270 to my door. Small price to pay to not suck water into the motor again. Thanks for your help guys.
