Just wondering if there are any other filter numbers that will fit a long Chevy filter application. Trying to take advantage of the PepBoys rebate and NO ONE has the long chevy oil filter. I don't know the Purolator numbers but wondered if there was a different number that fits the chevy, something they actually might have in stock before the rebate ends.

Just did a quick check on the Purolator site, BTW,,,it's a joke! Their lisings on any chevy truck only goes back to '96!! Finally found an L20049 for my wifes 86 Caprice, but it's the shorty version. They now call for the shorty version on ALL the Chevy V8's. All 3 of my Chevies take the long filter, L-34631. I"m about to give up one their stupid rebate.

Well, foooooyeee!! Ran the Wix number and Purolator comes up as "obsolete". Guess i'll just have to wait it out till Thursday! LOL And all this so I can save 20 bucks on filters that will cost me more then that in gas and time! LOL
 
Went to acdelco.com, put in 1977 c10 p/u and suburban, came up with these results, depends on engine size:

L6 engine (both displacements):
PF454

V8 (all displacements)
PF1218CL (long filter)
PF1218 (std. filter)
PF35L (high efficiency filter)

Then, cross-referenced at pureoil.com (purolator)

L6 engines: L15313

V8 engines:
Long filter – none found
Standard filter – L34631
H.E. Filter – L30040 (obsolete); L34631 (new)

Hope this helps.
