Looking for #3 and #4 in the pic. 3 is the fresh (cold) air intake and 4 is the hot air intake (supposedly goes to a shroud around the header or something?)

I'd be surprised if you can find originals of either one in decent enough shape to be worth purchasing. If you can find an original P/N maybe there is an NOS piece out there somewhere, but I imagin that is even more unlikely.

I don't know about a work around for #3, but for #4 you can likely use a piece of dryer exhaust flex hose.

If I'm being honest, unless you are working on a concourse restoration, I probably wouldn't bother with finding either.

Ah that’s no fun, was just hoping to get it running a bit better, found a cracked one at the yard the other day and thought I might see if anyone had the cold air intake, not so worried about the other. Can always make one of my own 🤷‍♂️ Thanks though!
 
Granted it's been years since I've been around any carbureted trucks, but I don't remember any of that changing the way one ran. At least not here, probably a different story anywhere that sees real cold.
