Travelall Carburetors and questions

[Don Bowen <donb@domain.elided>]

I just looked at a Travelall with the 392 4bbl engine.  It appears that the
carburetor needs rebuilt so my question is what carb is on the 392?  Are
there any special problems with it that cannot be fixed with a cleaning and
a kit?  I have done many 60s & 70s era carbs before so that is not a problem.

There is little rust on the truck.  I did see some around the rear wheel
flanges but the worst appeared to be on the firewall inside the front near
the outside.  Are there any replacement panels still available and how hard
is it to replace the front rust?

Also due to the carb acting up, I did not get a chance to drive it.  It has
the 727 transmission and I wanted to see how it shifted.  Is this a
standard Chrysler transmission or did IHC order a special version.  If it
were bad, would any mid seventies torqueflight bolt right in.  I doubt
there is any problem with the transmission considering the condition of the
rest of the car but I am asking just in case.

I am really considering this one because in general it is in good shape.  I
do not have time now for any more projects so I am looking to see what
problems have to be addressed and which ones I can ignore for a while.
