Thanks. Snorkels are really nothing more than a long sealed intake duct, so it hooks up to the top of the throttle body just like regular air cleaner would, but with better sealing to make sure no water would enter in. The main problem being that one has to cut a hole through the fender and then of course the tall intake tube can be a bit of a blind spot too. Some more extreme rigs will even raise up the exhaust system's rear outlets as well.

The C/K series didn't end in 1987 but continued on with the new body style pickups. GM would continue to manufacturer the square body under the R/V designation (fleet sales for 3/4 ton and 1 ton) while the new body was officially re-badged C/K x500. While no longer used by GM, some states still classify GM trucks by the C/K designation. For example, my 2013 Sierra is registered as a GMC K1500 as the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles continues to use C/K as a simple 2wd/4wd designator. Also worth noting Silverado and Sierra were names for trim package designators prior to 1998 thus a 1991 Silverado 2500 4x4 didn't exist because it was a 1991 V2500 in the Silverado trim.

@@CarStarz42 It was curious, i was 9 when the movie go out in cinemas, and remember the protagonist pointing to the snorkel, telling the woman to don't worry..... I just seen something like that in the final Chase of "man from u.n.c.l.e." where the protagonist cannot follow a land Rover With the bad Guy and the damsel in trouble, even when It got a "ultra 4" vehicle (in the 1960's 😅😅😅😅😂😂😂) because the Air intake is low

That is 1 thing I did not know about the movie And stunts involving Trucks Men in my life Have really truck use And not just going to get groceries.

Fact: when he drove it over LAVA, the saddle tank full of GAS hanging off the frame just behind the cab should have exploded!

A lot of "other things" should have happened in that scene if it were real, but fortunately it was not 😉

@@CarStarz42 what? You didn't know 16 gauge sheet metal floorboards can protect you from molten rock? And there's DEFINITELY not any gasses coming off that molten rock that's superheated which would've seared their lungs, killing them... Or killing the engine of that truck when that snorkel sucked it into the carb. I could go on for a long time just on that one scene. Fun movie, horrible research done by the writers, though.

Converted Suburbans were just bodies on a M1008 platform. Used as command cars.

Indeed, that's typically the way the auto industry does it, staying at least one model year ahead 😉
