Need help with carberator

I have a 1953 f100 all original except for the carberator and air cleaner. When I bought the truck, it had what I believe to be an early 60's one barrel which was unrepairable. I am trying to find out what the original carberator for my truck is and where to find one. The engine I believe is a 215 six cylinder. Also, if the orginal carberator was not very good, are there other options that I can use in place of the original one and where can I get those as well. Thanks for the help.

Some quick information I found, not sure how much of it's useful:

1953 Ford 215 Inline Six Engine Specs

FORDSIX PERFORMANCE • View topic - Help with 215 tune-up

May also have better luck posting in this forum?

Holley model 1904. This is a good carb for the era.

An autolite 1100 wil also work.

Good luck and hope I helped.
