Did your truck have a 4 barrel carb or a 2 barrel ?

It was a 4 barrel and the only owner before me upgraded to a Holley 850cfm. It ran really good and had a lot of low end torque. Low redline of 5000 rpm, IIRC. So far as I know, the truck was all original. The owner bought it new. I grew up working on cars with him. He was my mentor of sorts.
He bought the truck back from me a year and a half after I bought it from him. The bed had some rust issues. He had another short bed parts truck that had been hit in the front and had frame damage. He used the short bed from that truck, cut down the chassis on the good truck, and made it into a short bed. It looked really good when he was done. Couldn't tell the truck had ever been shortened.
