I need a Cabin filter

Saw my cabin filter yesterday and i almost puked!
I'm guessing if i get a new one it should take away the rat piss smell. Can anyone link me to one for my 1992 pickup or one for another car that will fit mine. I searched the web and couldn't find one.

Thanks-Blake

Really? Hmmm thats interesting. I must be looking at the wrong thing. The filter I'm looking at is next to the blower. Thats the cabin filter right??

that thing simply moves when you select fresh air or recirculate.

+1 on cleaning it up.

There is no filter that foam stuff is just there to help make a good "air tight" seal on the flapper... if it is old and falling apart you can always scrape it off and replace it with several strips of foam weather seal... it comes in several thicknesses , you should be able to get a matching one... avail at Home depot/lowes very cheaply too... just an idea...
