Air Filter Element

Is there an available paper media air filter element that will fit in an oil bath air filter housing from a 1953 F100 Flathead? TIA

There is no direct fit. There are many threads on heavily adapting the housings for paper filters.

I just run the oil bath as originally intended on my fleet with no noticable issues.
