Use RV sewer hose and make one. Don't do it unless you are going to be crossing really deep water. Don't forget to relocate the battery, seal all electrical connections, seal the distributor, and pumb vents for the trans and axles to a high area in the cab.

OK I gotta ask. What do you need it for? Is this a mud truck? I find that most don't actullay need a snorkle. If you want it to look cool, thats OK but don't use the sewer pipe like shawn recommended. Sewer pipe does not look cool.

Don't forget to switch to an electric fan so you can turn it off. Otherwise it will bend and go into the radiator.

X2... Most mudd trucks now days, use some sort of a flex hose that runs up into the cab.

You will need an electric fan with toggle switch before you need a snorkle.

Put duct tape around the front half of the filter. This will keep most splashes out. The electric fan will take car of the rest.

If you want to fork over the doe, I know someone who used a landrover snorkel on his Scout 80. They are not cheap though, but they do look cool.
I do a lot of river running in my Scout and use an electric fan with a switch as mentioned earlier. I also use a Harley Davidson air cleaner on my Webber carb. This type of cover is closed exept for side. I do think the snorlels look cool but I'm cheap.
Here is a pic of the air filter housing.

I tried to send you pictures of mine but i can't do it. i got some flex plastic pipe from tractor supply, cheap and pretty rigid. it can stand a backfire without melting. it expands from something like 18"- 6', or so i can't remember. i think it's down spout pipe. i made a cannister to sit on top of the carb and ran the hose in the cab with a cone filter on it. works good.
