longer "truck" oil filter?

Putting this 5.3 together for a swap. Was hunting through the wix catalog for the long "truck" filter, seemed to just point me to the regular size one.

Anyone got a part number handy?

Thanks.

The GEN-3 can use...

Wix-51522
NAPA-1522
A/C Delco-PF61

All are the long version.

realize that the longer filters will hang down below the bottom of the oil pan. I was thinking of doing this and decided it would be too easy to hit something and shear off the bottom of the filter. Instant 0psi oil pressure.

I was running the longer truck filter and I'm "slightly" dropped. The filter never took a hit.

I run the long filter on mine. Have never had an issue. It is not a daily driver however, and having duals, I am mindful of what I drive over.
