Thanks guys - much appreciated! I'm hoping to keep the appearance as close to original as possible so I'll look to see which of these options work the best. I may leave the old filter on just one more season at most and start working the flea markets in earnest to see what I can find.

With brakes, two cylinders are better than one.

Hi,
I found my external oil filter canisters for the Roadmonster and the LaSalle on EBay by searching among tractor parts. Each was about $10 including shipping. You can get hoses made locally.
Fram C4 and C5 canister filters are easily available, and pretty cheap.

I did the same thing as Curt. It's a no brainer; you can usually find these @ swap meets.

We're getting ready for a spring oil change and need to change out the oil filter this time as well. I know of the mod kits out there that hide a modern spin on filter, but they are rather pricey and may require changing some of the plumbing lines. I've also had someone tell me to find an original filter, but have never seen one at a swap meet nor do the normal part suppliers carry them. I'd also be concerned about the paper media inside being so old that it might create more problems than help with filtering.
What is most commonly done and who has the parts?
Any help would be most appreciated. I looking forward to getting the "old girl" back on the road for the new season.
