Honda was doing that back in the 1980's, but they also had 56 vacuum lines running around that carb to help control all the parts of it.
Fuel injection would be the best route, either that or a turbo diesel, a 1959 F100 weighs about the same as a VW jetta TDI so that might even be an option, a bit more frontal area in the truck but people also toss all kinds of stuff on the roof of some of those cars too.
