Anybody have an idea what this is? Looks almost like something OEM, but from another model vehicle...

Interesting air intake set-up I saw on CList

Yep 70s/80s dual snorkel setup. Quite a few body/motor cars had them as an option and some are quite rare.

Gotcha. Might be one more thing to add to the salvage yard fun list.

good luck, like mentioned they are rare. if you look at your radiator support, you have the knocks on both sides of the radiator for the air pieces that go in the support.
I have all the factory components to make one, 2 housings, an extra hose and tophat, etc.. just went a different direction...
im sure you can build something like that off parts from Spector performance.
Yup just build one from 2 air cleaners. Go a step further and get a BB lid and filter, there a couple inches taller.
Pretty sure dremu already did this and posted pics of it in his Smurfmobile build thread....

Ha, I'm famous! Except (1) it's the other truck and (2) I haven't finished plumbing the ducts to actually be cold air intakes. The 73-80 have the batteries turned the other way so there's not so much room to go through the radiator support.

pretty cool set-up
I've never seen a factory one that looked like the one in the original post, I think that is homebrew.

This. I've seen a couple of guys go this route in the pro touring world.
That first one was from K&N. I remember my dad getting one for his 73k30 with a 454 in it. He was running propane at 11.5:1. Bored stroked ported and headers. Useless engine with the sm465 and a camper on it. But it would go up hills.
Could be, but I could also make one that looks just like it tomorrow if I wanted to.

I did one for my 78 gmc in the early 80's. K&N quit making them.
