Some Ford Trucks and Ford Vans.
The Fram CA8039 is the disposable one.
If you can find a Fram WA8039; this is a washable with soap and water Filter.
I used the WA8039 but I have a Federal Car so my mod was different.
I thought I had Deliveryvalvs pic comparing the Calif. Filter with the WA8039 but could not easily find it.
The WA8039 is longer due to the Plastic cone on the end but the actual Filter Element area is shorter by a few inches.
I though that maybe some sort of ring made of foam could be used to take up the space (after the part of the Cone is cut off).
I believe the other issue with the mod is that where the Crankcase Breather Hose attaches to the Air Filter Housing can cause Oil Vapor to get on the Filter element. So there would be no point in using a washable Air Filter if Oil is going to ruin it.
