Plastic chute on air cleaner on a 77

Today I bought a black plastic chute that connects the radiator support under the voltage regulator to the round inlet on the bottom of the air cleaner on our 75 F-150. The part number states it is made for a 77 F-150.

It is in rough shape. Gluing may not fix it.
Does any one have a spare?

Maybe some thin plastic strips glued on both sides of the crack might work? If not I have one that came off a 78/79.... its finial connection is black flex hose to the end of the air filter.

PM me if needed.

Interesting. This one connects directly to the round inlet on the bottom.

The round inlet on the bottom does not go to the radiator support. There are two separate hoses. One hose goes from the radiator support to the snorkel of the air cleaner and serves as the fresh-air intake. The other hose is smaller and connects the round inlet on the bottom of the air cleaner to the hot-air uptake on the passenger-side exhaust manifold.

I believe on a 78/79 it starts at the back side of the red support about a foot or so then a flex tube to the bottom and routes it to the end of the air filter.

The snorkel on the air cleaner is not round. the plastic tube is round and the same
diameter as the bottom inlet on the snorkel. The two line up.
The exhaust manifolds were replaced with headers long ago.
What's your email address. I'll take a picture of it.
Mine is jrtljt031648@att.net

Ok here is what I have setting around.....the 1st pic is my 77 it has a round end for the duct to connect too. Just so we are on the same sheet of music.

The 2 spares I have, one has a rectangle end and the other is round. Part # pics and both side by side.

Yes that is a OEM push bar in the back ground....
