Hi All,
Looking for a location that makes sense. Attempting to put this aux filter in line without locating in the excessive heat of the engine bay. I hung it on the right fender but almost didn’t get through Denver because of near vapor lock.
Pics coming soon.

On my 73 it was on the driverside mounted to the Rad support next to the bottom of the radiator.

Sorry for the duplicates. The box was in yesterday and the new radiator was put in today. Filter is next unless I run out of shop time. This truck won’t be making anymore cross country trip in the near future so the carb fuel filter can carry the water.

Wow that’s the opposite side of the fuel pump. It’s also the opposite corner where I put mine the first time. (upper right fender near the firewall)

Disregard what I said, I miss read your post. I was thinking the charcoal canister. I would have sent a picture but mine has been removed.

After getting back together, the fuel filter is on the bottom of the list. I’m not planning on driving it that much for a while.
