Stock 302 Air Cleaner for 71- 76 Ford Truck??

[impcon]

Does anyone know of a caster ( or a kit?? ) that makes/has the stock air cleaner for a 1971-76 Ford F100 as pictured here? I have started on the Moebius '71 Ford that was generously passed on to my by a good friend and board member here, and I am trying to replicate the '71 Custom F100 that my dad bought brand new from Springfield Motor Products in Oakbank, Manitoba. I will have to do some swingin' and swayin' of parts here to turn the Ranger into a lowly Custom and the air cleaner is one of the challenges I face. I am using the Bronco 289 that I hope will pass as a 302 and the standard transmission on that engine/transmission unit is perfect because my dad's truck had a 3 speed standard transmission, nopower steering and no power brakes. A pretty plain truck but it sure looked good in its Rangoon Red paint.

I am thinking it is the same one found in a '76 Torino . Not the Starsky and Hutch kit . The 1:1 is the same . I've not seen the kit yet . The 302 and the 289 are the same 60 Degree V/8 . Externally the same IIRC . Thanx ..

You are absolutely right John. I am trying to get some cast up in resin for several Ford projects of mine.

That's interesting that your dad's truck had that air cleaner, Gary. I realize they started using them on the car 302s in '71 but figured they started using them on the trucks in '73. I've only seen the big '68-up style on the bumpside era trucks including my original '71 F100 302. The revell '68 Mustang has about the nicest one of those in scale.

...and these are 90 degree V8s, John

SMBC had a nice one in the 351 Cleveland kit.
