OK, I just ordered everything to do a smooth intake tube, and I ordered the BHAF filter. My question now is I really like the Old Smokey style filter box. Does anyone have one for sale, or know where I can get one. I got the plans, but don't know anyone that can fabricate this for me.

 

They are very easy to make. There has to be some sort of welding shop in your area that could easily handle it. If not you are in a very populated area, maybe somebody else on the board in your area can point you in the right direction.

 

Mine came pre-bent with the truck, all I had to do is install it but, I would look for a place that does sheetmetal fab work such as an HVAC company or veen a guy who does house siding, all you need is someone with a sheetmetal brake.

 

Bumpytruck made a template and put a pic of it in his gallery. It's not a real high-tech setup, you can bend it up with a bench vise and a couple of 2x4's as a brake.

92Diesel made his out of an old Stop sign using those measurements and it fit very nicely when we installed it.

 

I dont have a sheet metal brake. I made a cardboard template and transfered it onto a peice of sheet metal I picked up at Tractor Supply(10$) and took it to a local metal shop where they cut the circular hole for me.($2)
The I placed a metal yard stick on each side of the bend-lines and clamped it with three "c"-clamps, used that to make the bends nice and straight and sharp.... worked great.

 

Yeah, 92Diesel was trying to STOP the dirt from going into his motor...

 

I should re-state that I need to find a guy with a sheetmetal brake...I positively stink at doing stuff like that. Heck, a $10 piece of metal from TS? I would need $50 worth
