Hi everyone,
I'm looking to make contact with anyone with a split crewcab that is fitted with air boxes, please.
It must have air boxes, not the German-style vents.
I'm looking for assistance with some measurements.
Thanks.

Re: Split crewcabs with airboxes
Can help you with dimensions and pictures from a 66 crewcab with original Uitenhage-made air intake boxes.
Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.

Re: Split crewcabs with airboxes
Thanks, James.
Dawie very kindly provided me with measurements and photos. I'll be in touch should I need further info'.
Riaan, airboxes were used in southern Africa in an attempt to reduce the intake of dust. They sit higher up than the common intake path.

Re: Split crewcabs with airboxes
Ive only ever seen a couple. I believe there were a few variations on crew cabs.Riaan.N wrote:This is interesting, haven’t seen this before.
Why is this different from the ‘usual’ vents?
I have a single cab that has the intakes on the back of the cab, with the airbox running under the bed.

Your cab intakes were likewise for use in dusty regions.
