Abstract
An air intake system for providing air to the engine of a conventional truck is disclosed herein and includes an intake vent located on the side of the truck's cab just in front of its door. A cab elbow fabricated from rubber transports air from the intake vent through the interior of the cab and to an opening in the firewall where it connects with an air duct within the truck's hood compartment. The air is then transported via the air duct to the engine. The cab elbow is designed to minimize thermal and acoustical interference with the cab's interior. The present system may be used in conjunction with either cowl mounted air cleaners or an underhood air cleaner without modifying other components of the truck.
