Snorkel
I've searched and searched and it looks like this would have to be a custom piece. Does anyone know of any shops that produce a snorkel for the F150? All the threads I found relating to this were at least two years old. So since 2008, has there been any companies to fabricate one of these?

All those replies and only one of you managed to provide any kind of useful input. Should have known I would get immature and ignorant reponses here. Disregard this thread and go back to installing you under body neans or lowering your 4x4's or what ever it is you all do...
no one makes anything that I'm aware of, and yes if you need a snorkle you'll need more than just the snorkle (unless you want it for the looks)

Besides having to retro-fit a snorkel, what other mods are some of you talking about for water forging?
Extending the vent tubes for the diffs and/or trans? Some electronic relocation? Ghey exhaust stacks sticking out the bed? A front Procomp type skid plate to protect the trans/steering lines and keep debris from the engine bay?
I actually like the utilitarian aspect and looks of a snorkel. It would be a better "true" CAI for a truck, rather than how cars typically run them downwards. Even if I don't get water up to the bottom of the cab, water still splashes WAY into the exposed area between the radiator and the front crossmember. I'm currently running a modified OEM intake, which isn't as secure as an aftermarket intake (I'm talking about how the intake elbow snaps into the filter housing and is loosely secure with one bolt with a heavy rubber bushing to ditch vibrations.)

So I was interested in a snorkel for my F150 also, but from what I read the only option is for a custom one to be fabbed up.
If it's useless to put a snorkel on our truck because this and that will get wet and mess things up anyway- why do Land Rovers and Jeeps put them on so often? I know a safari look is often time trying to be acheived. Yes I know jeeps have drain plugs. But they all add extended diff breathers.
I have never tried to cross a lake but have seen water spash pretty high in my engine bay. Sure the whole truck wasn't submerged but still.
