Damm ..I've did a dozen truck rebuilds...same pickle the op's in...
And what route did you go?
At the time I was poor so to say ...always went with one of those elbonboc carbs , easy to tune ...the extra electric choke I was not impressed with , but they were easy to tune. Once I had more funding I found a q jet carb guy and he did them for me ...alot of linkage to get right on them things ...85 degs in summer an 40+ below in winter...and all I had to do was turn the idol up come winter, and back it off come summer.
