$15 for the hose, like $5 for the scoop and the adaptor to the box was about $2. With the hose clamps around $25 total.

Yes I originally was playing around with that. It will fit in there, but would be upside down. There would be a dip in the hose with the nozzle upside down and if it was raining and water was coming in through the grille, it would collect in that dip in the hose. That's the only reason I didn't do it that way. Personally, I like it better centered in the truck than off to one side. I like symmetry

Im no expert on air-flow but it seems to me that more taper is needed going to the hose to compress the air.

or, maybe not...

That vacuum cleaner attachment is cool looking though!
