I think I can hook ya up. I've got a set of M/T's, believe they are black crinkle, then the fins are ground down to Aluminum.

Might be what your looking for.

Price would be right...about a 12-pak would cover it for you.

I'll take them to work tomorrow and see if I can get someone to snap a pic.

nah he was gonna go with me to sac to get my gears done, but had to stay behind at the last minute to sell his hell camino.

I drove up and back (5 hour trip back! ) by myself. Have 150 miles on the gears so far and love them. This bitch hauls some serious ***!

Tall, plain stamped steel. No baffles though but you could add them if you really needed them. Mostly though they're relatively plain and the price is right.

I've got a set for my car. All they have to do as far as I'm concerned is keep oil in and dirt out. I don't like chrome, I don't like the idea of paying to let some company advertise under my hood, and I couldn't justify spending a lot of money for cast for fabricated aluminum covers when stamped steel would do just as well. These ones are at least almost OEM.

They're supposed to keep some of the oil from getting sucked up by the PCV.

Well, heck, no pics, seems I'm not the only 21st-century-challenged person in my office...

The VC's I have look very similar to the ones posted by kairles, except, they have no black/crinkle, just cast Al. There are no baffles, but they do have a breather holes on each one...only one has the oil filler hole.

I guess the only thing I remembered correctly after all these years that they are "M/T"s
