So I had to run my 1975 Ford F250 Ranger XLT Camper Special with a 390 Fe 4bbl through air care (Vancouver, Canada) a couple days ago and it was too high on CO2. I got a mechanic to adjust it and got charged a LOT of money for him replacing the metering rods and jets in the carb. Lets just say I could have bought a brand new carb for the money I spent...but my fault for not doing it myself....I go to pick up the truck and he is showing me what he did so his mechanic goes to start up the truck (leaves it in 1 gear) the truck jumps forward hitting me and the guy who owns the shop and get this RUNS OVER MY MINT! Air Cleaner Assembly which he had put in front!!!!!! of the tires on the ground. Needless to say its toast but he is promising me to get a new one...Now from what I have seen they are super rare and the ones coming up are rusted or banged around. Does anyone know where I could get one or which other models had the same air cleaner assembly and how much they are worth????

Any help would be greatly accepted - please!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. I have added some photos of my truck.

Only chance is to find one then have a body shop paint/fix it.

 

I think you can get the new decals to put on another air cleaner

 

i wanna say bronco graveyard has the decals you can get. thats sucks about your air cleaner, such a good looking truck.

 

wish my truck looked like that but hopefully ill have the money to restore mine. and sorry about the air cleaner

 

Did the air cleaner originaly have an aluminum finish? My 78' is.

 

have you checked LMC?

Did your truck pass aircare? I can tune it next year for you

 

My truck has the same air filter housing as yours. Mine was toast from years of abuse. I found one on e-bay that was absolutely mint right down the white inked stamp on the air intake. It cost me $90.00.

 

ebay craigslistcrawler LMC & NPD should have them

 

I think I have s spare, I will check when I get to the shop on monday. I have a pristine one for my truck, but if i recall, there is one on my old 351M. It will need paint and decals, but I don't think it is bent.
