Thanks to all that responded.  I have found my carburetor. 

I did not know that the air horn was different between cars and trucks. Not sure why Ford did that. Still learning - Bob

I've got what you need, core or otherwise. If you are interested I can send pictures to you through an email address or even post here if you prefer. If you need a truck carburetor though, isn't your air horn different from what Bobwanna has above? Pretty sure the truck air cleaner fits over a smooth, tapered lip and not a straight wall like the passenger car.

By the way - that is a good price from Bob on that carburetor.

Thanks Bob, yes, it is a V8 with an automatic transmission.  I need one with the manual choke, but thank you for responding.  Nice find for someone that needs the auto choke.

I will assume that you have a V8 and need a 2 barrel carb. I have one that I bought as a spare for my 55 wagon years ago. This one has an automatic choke and my old wagon had a manual choke. It is a Ford rebuilt carb that has been sitting on a shelf for 20 years?  Let me know if this is what you are looking for. $90 plus shipping  - Bob

You might try ebay - carbs show up quite regularly and you may be lucky and find one.

The carburetor on my 56 Ford F100 Fordomatic truck melted in a garage fire.  Fortunately, the truck was not there!  I need a good carburetor or a good rebuildable core.  Located in San Bernardino, CA
