It took a bit of wiggling and twisting but I finally got all of the bolts to line-up on the air filter housing. I gave up the first try; went back a couple of days later and finally figured it out!
Thanks Alan. Does your air filter housing have a place to connect a vacuume tube holder-clip-thingy? (mine doesn't, Bull & Robert's do)

Does it have the extension that protrudes via a flex tube to just behind the headlight? (mine doesn't, Bulls does)

Also, this air cleaner assembly has a hole in the bottom with some sort of spring loaded flap/valve mechanism. There is no tube connected to this hole (~3") and the flap is in the position such that clean air will come from underneath vs. the buisness end of the assembly. It looks like there is supposed to be some mechanism connecting to this flap, but none on my truck.

In the pictures Bull's truck (below), it looks like there is a heat-sheilded tube coming out of his...



Anyone?
