:smt006 Hi, I am the newbiest of newbies, and I have a gazillion questions about my 'new' 1980 Luv truck. To start, carburetor is giving me fits. Thought about rebuilding it, it was a nice thought. Now I just want to replace it. Shall I go for a rebuilt, or new, stock or something interchangable? Lastly, fron where, buy locally or go internet? Don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water or throw money out the window. Thank you, thank you, thank you for any assistance!

Rebuilding your stock carb isn't that difficult but if that not your cup of tea, a weber 32/36 is a nice swap for the lil 1.8 bundle of joy. Buying online is usually cheaper but depending on where it's coming from you might be paying the difference, if not more, in shipping, you'll just have to shop around...

Just put a Weber on one of my Luvs and it was the best investment I've ever made on this truck. Got mine off of ebay. Just search on Chevy Luv Weber.
