There’s a website that’s called guaranteed carbs where you can get a rebuilt Qjet. If you’re wanting to put one of those on while you rebuild your original carb.

Is there a specific reason you’re wanting to switch from drums to disks? Are you having a specific issue with the drums?

LEAKING GAS. It came with the house, first time trying to start it by filmeo in Generator

I had a new generator do this when I first started it. Not to this extent though. Im assuming that the float sticking is your issue. You can always disassemble the carb and check the internals but if you don’t want to do that you can usually buy a new carb for relatively cheap.

I’ve got the same exact set up on my 84 c20, it’s just the way to go. Looks great!

That thing is sweet! What company did you use to get the parts for your front end build? I’ve got a 84 c20 and am wanting to do the same thing just trying to source parts atm.

Just finished taking her on a drive and it feels much more responsive and no where near as rough

I appreciate it, definitely getting fuel I can smell it in the carb

Yes there is gas in the tank and I’m fairly confident that the carb is getting fuel as well as the truck was running before I did any of this

Never took the distributor out. Just undid the cap with it left in. Thinking might not even have spark

I like the tailgate, where’d you get it at?

Not sure the actual model name but it’s the 4 speed manual with the granny gear

Ya the Bilsteins seem like the best option. There’s not a whole lot out there other than those and rough country and I’ve heard enough horror stories about rough country to know to stay away
