Appreciate all the good advice.
I will try to find a really old mechanic!
I tried to order a carb at Classic Parts, but they will only rebuild one with 6-8 week turnaround. I bought a rebuilt one from ebay and it looked SHINEY.
I started the project from a rusty chassis. Once I get the engine happily running, I have painted fenders just waiting to go on. I can't wait to make some real progress on the truck.
Thanks for all the helpful (and hilarious) comments!
