The only fairly recent Ford I'm aware of using a Weber would be the early 80's 4 cylinder Rangers and Mustangs with the 2.3 engines. Not a pure Weber, but a Holley Weber. Nice little carbs, but not big enough the feed a V8. If your truck is stock, it should have an Autolite 2100 on it. It's remotely possible that you could have what's known as a 7200 Variable Venturi (or 7200VV) on there. I've heard of them being on a truck or two but have only personally seen them on LTDs and Granadas. If you carb has a "flip" choke plate on top like alost any other carb, it's not a VV. The VV's have two "sliders" on top that retract into the rear of the carb.
