Sounds like the stock type filter that was in it - holes in the sides. I haven't seen one with holes in the top/bottom. You can pick them up at your favorite auto parts store around here. I get mine at Napa.

I don't remember the pn, but if they can't find it for your truck, tell them it's for a 49-53 car. Same engine, same oil filter but the books aren't that smart.

This is a filter with multiple applications including tractors and big equipment, even today.

Id get one from a known source Dale. Hastings, Motorcraft, Fram at least, still produce them.
