The 360 is a motor size in cubic inches. Have a look over on Rich's page he has a lot of info stashed there including your specs but you'll need to scroll through it. Go here

if i'm reading the link you sent me, it looks like KYB 344071 Excel-G. for front and KYB 344272 Excel-g for rear would be proper for 1973 Ford F-250 Custom with RWD. Would you agree? thanks again

That is correct and to get a 5% discount if you are ordering from Rockauto go here to get the discount code. Then apply it at checkout.v

I have a 1973 FORD F-250 Dentside with a 360 ci V8. The original carb was replaced and seems to have some issues. What would be a proper Edelbrock carb replacement ? It has a 4-speed Warner Manual Trans paired with a 3.54 Dana 60 conventional rear axel. Thank you

Does your 360 have a 4 barrel or 2 barrel intake manifold ?

So you probably have a Motorcraft 2100 2 barrel carb on it now. There's really nothing wrong with that carb except they wear in a few places causing unwanted vacuum leaks but that can be repaired. If your truck is not your daily driver I would consider sending out your current carb to a reputable rebuilder and have it professionally rebuilt. Or if you're feeling frisky rebuild it yourself. These carbs are not overly complicated.Otherwise a holley 2 barrel is a good replacement choice.
