Having difficulties finding a part

I am restoring a 1984 Ford F-250 4x4. I am trying to get it back to original. I am having difficulty finding a part. I am looking for the diaphram that sits on the Air cleaner. Mine is messed up and does not control the butterfly inside.

I have tried lmctrucks and dennis- carpenter to no avail.

Does anyone have any ideas as to where I could find this?

Many thanks,

Dino

Any good parts store, that's the real problem. Most parts people these days have never seen the inside of a book...

Yeah... I should feel lucky, there's a NAPA near me staffed with some clueful,
experienced, mature people who are quite knowledgeable and helpful.

In any event, I found several vacuum motors for his truck on NAPA's Web site -

I really appreciate it. I tried Autozone and Advanced Auto Parts and they looked at me like I had two heads.

Thanks again,

Your truck is likely older than most of the counter help at these places.

So true, I had to hunt down my oil cap breather due to lack of knowledge of the parts salesmen at autozone and advance, older guy at Oreillies took care of me and with my work discount I get almost 1/3 off all parts for ford/chevrolet.
