Carburetor for 1974 loadstar 1600

[LaramieCJ]

Looking for a carburetor for this loadstar 1600. I don’t know much about these trucks, I think it has the 345 engine. The carburetor from the truck was stolen so there is no possibility to use that one. Cheaper would be better in this situation. I would like to use the factory fuel connection, air cleaner, throttle linkage and all that. I wouldn’t be against buying a used one and rebuilding it but I just don’t know what to look for.

Here is the build tag. Where would I have to look on the engine to see if it’s the 345 or 478?

That looks like a 345. The oem carb probably has a governor built into it. If you can do without the governor, a standard 350 cfm Holly replacement carb should bolt right in.
