I see a lot af carbs on ebay but non is like mine I have on the truck. I have not taken it off yet so I don't know what the number is yet. I guess I better do that first and maybe I can get one somewhere around here.

Mr. John Smith is an EXPERT at rebuilding those carbs!
Ah those were the days, eh John? Hows the old panel running? Any new improvements?

A picture is worth a 1000 words for sure.
Expert ...............
Expert at following suggestions ....maybe. Thanks to Coolie Julie and many others at this fine place I was able to re-do my old 2 barrel.
I'm soaking my exhaust manifold bolts now. I got cracks in both and all the gaskets are shot. I was getting fumigated every time I took a spin .I got new manifolds, crossover and main pipes to put on. Going to do tie rod ends, maybe king pins this springs and the 12v conversion. The rear lights on a Panel @ 6v are almost non existant/ dangerous.

Thanks for the information I will try ebay and see if I can find one but the only thing is that you don't always know if they are good or not when you buy off of ebay I guess I will just have to take a chance and hope for the best.
