Tell me about my oil bath air cleaner - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Now that I know how to load pix you guys are gonna get sick of me. Ive been looking at threads on oil bath air cleaners (OBAC) and I’ve only seen one other pic of one like mine. It was an a 1960 as well. The guy I bought the truck from said it was valuable, but you know how that goes. I’m probably gonna stash it away and run a newer paper filter, but which one should I get? The bigger the better.
Thanks!

Thanks again geezer. I may ask mike about it next week when I order my rebuild kit. I’d hate to get a cleaner that doesn’t fit the carb.

Now that you’re pic happy, have we seen the rest of your truck?

Standby, prepare to be underwhelmed.

I have the same air cleaner on my 63. Don't know if it is original. I think I had read that they were the heavy duty air cleaner option but can't say for sure. I also don't know the value of them. I plan on selling my original I6 with the air cleaner because I don't plan to use it on my build.
