Help with a 1948 Ford F5 Short bus restoration

Im rescuing this abandoned 1948 Ford F5 School Bus. I am looking for any resources or help finding parts. It's got a 1957 312 Y block and I'm looking for a rebuild kit for the two barrel Holley carb. I'm having trouble finding the exact model

I enjoyed the video a lot and will follow the project. Not many modifications actually and you will have the freedom to take it in your own direction. .

Lovin' this bus. Keep going after it. You've came a long way, and with some time and work, you will have it where you want.
