hello everyone! This is my first post ever. I own a 1959 f100. It has a 223 engine. Im restoring it right now, its my first restoration project. I was wondering if anyone knew what carbs would work on my truck, or if there was any out on the market that i could use, on the intake manifold. It is a 2 blot mount. also if there is a bracket to let a 4 bolt mount work.


Please help!

thank u for your help!

 

Hi Trotskie10,

I'm not sure but I wanted to write something to bump this back to the top tonight. If you don't get any responses write an e-mail to "Col. Flashman" He will know. New folks don't understand the Colonels sense of humor so if his response seems a little "direct," he's just kidding - look for "Smilies."

Good Luck,
Julie

 

Firsrt welcome to FTE. Quite a place.

Here is a thread that will give you some insight to what carb your truck would have had originally. (click the link below)
I don't have any info on what can be adapted to it but with a little work and imagination probably most anything.
Hope this helps or at least is a starting place for the info you are looking for.

Glad to see it's not just me then Richard.....

ps thanks for all your help, my carb is on it's way to me.....

 

Steve
Let me know how it works out and if the linkage you have is all correct.
It looks like the previous owner might have shortened the short link to the carb to adapt to the present carb.

 

where ar you at trotskie ??? if you are from around here i can point you ta a P.O.S.! 55 that im taking the drivers door and seat from , that has a frozen up 223 in it and the carb is / was still there all together last time i was there . if not try one of these two carbs unlimited www.carburetion.com , or speedway motors, where i just found my adapter for my flatty to use a rochester 2 jet . also in trying to help another newb here i was looking at several diff ford six web sites in net world here , like ford six.com might try them too . but we got the cream of the crop here so someone will get you fixed !!!!.

 

Thank u so much everyone! thank u everyone for all the responses! im in iowa 55 f350

 

Hi 55 F350, is the 223 carb still avaliable? I have lost out on the one i thought i had bought...

 

One of His smilies is like taking Jalapinos for heart burn.

 

as far as i know steve it's still there . you from 'round here ?? if so like i told the others i'll point you in the right direction , and i'll call the fella and let him know you want something . the exhaust manifold is still good and i imagine there are other things worth taking if you got the 223 . let me know . send a pm if need .

 

hey f350 im in iowa. i do need a exhaust manifold.
