The filter itself filters just fine, but when air bypasses it, you're looking for trouble.
What I do is use the spongy foam window sealer to fill the gap around the complete perimeter, and then put the filter in and put lid on.
The best way is to get an oil analasys (I like Schaeffer) and they can tell you how well your air filter is working. Weird that they can tell by an oil sample, but they can give an approximation with how much silicone is in there.
It also give you a great baseline for oil changes and how well your engine is wearing.

The 89 Crewcab:
327,000 miles. Back seat has only been sat in about ten times, since we got it. Original owner and PO literally never ever used it. Original engine and tranny
Original paint too!

That is some good info to know considering it hasn't been oiled in the past 41k miles... I cleaned it but now with oil when the gauge said to.

Nice truck looking truck Avid I had a new windshield put in my truck about a month ago. It's awesome looking thru that thing after you have had a cracked and sand blasted windshield for so long. Make sure you throw some new wipers on it.
Tech I love the color of your truck my dad had a 90 the same color and it was cool looking at it from different angles during the day and under the fluorescent light in parking lots at night
