airbox fabrication

I was just wondering what it would take to add a airbox to my truck (the one below). It doesn't have a place for an airbox factory, but has the plastic snorkel tubing that should hook to a box somewhere underhood. where would i be able to put one and hook everything up? i'm just looking for a way to get some cooler air under the hood.

Hit a boneyard and pick up an original box or run a cold air induction setup.

Check this site out... http://members.home.net/k2pilot1/Html_page.htm

This guy has made a "ram air" system on his diesel ford, looks pretty good. I am in the process of doing the same to my diesel. Pulls the cooler denser air from outside the truck, which means more hp.
I have done it to wife's little cheby SUV and used a K&N cone filter. Made filter box out of PVC Schd 80, works wonders...
