Thanks Dan!
Yes the truck is a 1980 model and did have a Holley 1945 that the previous owner replaced with a rebuilt 1920. I have no idea where the rebuilt carburetor came from but it does it's job well. Lucky me.

If that intake is aluminum, it's a Feather Duster/Dart Lite piece.

Is is in fact aluminum, well a magnet falls right off it.

You know, that intake manifold is not good. You probably need to send me that truck right now before it blows up on you. I might even pay shipping costs.

Seriously though, that is a BEAUTIFUL truck. More pictures are always appreciated!
