Made my own for dual carb setup, using a 6x9 paper element and some sheet metal. Too inelegant for pictures.

Don't have a photo handy, but I've got a Fram air cleaner that uses a big AF-2 filter on our D24.  It was "aftermarket" to replace the oil bath cleaner back when our cars were new, got it off of a Ford F6 truck in a salvage yard in Alamogordo, NM.  I have yet to see one anywhere since.  Bought a case of filter elements for it way back when, and still have 1/2 of them left. It was originally orange, but I painted it black and it looks similar to the oil bath air cleaners.  Our car didn't even have an air cleaner when we got it, so finding this when I was looking for other doodads for the car was fortuitous.  I'll post a photo when I get home tonight.

Are you looking for something like this?  I used a 2 1/4 in interior pipe.  Put a grove in it for the wire clamp.  I have had this on for over 10 years.

My bad.  Its a Purolator air cleaner and filters.  I recall that we had to order the filters from the heavy duty truck catalog at Pep Boys.  If I hadn't found this, I would have gotten an original type oil bath and converted it to use a dry filter.

Here's the cleaner I built for my dual carb setup. I bought the upper and lower plates which where two tops for a 4bbl carb setup. Yes those are muffler flanges sticking through the bottom, and they fit right onto the horn of the carb perfectly. It didn't cost lots to build, and if I had my druthers, I'd probably run a couple of small stock Chevy truck carbs, but they want outrageous money for those.
